Never you cheat or back-bite
Put a stop to fuss an' fight
Let us keep upright
An' walk the path that is right

And your name will be written
In the book of life

Watch every step you make
You surely can't afford to make a mistake
Then let Jah in your heart
And throw away your evil thought
Love your brother as yourself

And your name will be written
In the book of life

Jah Ras Tafari
Haile I, Selassie I

So do the right an' not the wrong
And Jah will give you an helping hand
An' walk in the counsel of the righteous
An' do the things of the righteous men

And your name will be written
In the book of life

Your name will be written
In the book of life
