Dm             Am             Em                   C          Bm        C 
Down upon our souls we will ride                     
And it serves you right to build your kingdom in the sky 
I man na lie, what a lullaby you sing to a young man so 
Dm             Am             Em                   C          Bm        C 
Man down, way down, down upon our head and his soul 
It was just a thought in the air, like something planted in the atmosphere, my dear 
Oh my suffer loss is real 
Dm             Am             Em                   C          Bm        C 
Oh why, why, why must we be shackled on ya 
We were treated like a number and talked to like a fool 
You better ascend before you’re gone for so long 
Dm             Am             Em                   C          Bm        C 
And the wind blow I man got to carry the soul of the waterfall 
We’re still so powerful my friends, you have got nothing to fear, nuclear 
Oh the mighty stone building across them land 
Dm             Am             Em                   C          Bm        C 
But the higher they build man try to fly over world 
Man breaking their heart and so taking their head as them goal, man I pray 
Still dey man champion so I, I, I, ring a man bone 
Dm             Am             Em                   C          Bm        C 
But they throw rock, rock, rock, rock, rock stone Jah messenger down 
Oh man erase them with wit and anger, like it was a joke, that that man say 
Oh my suffer loss is real… 
Dm             Am             Em                   C          Bm        C 
What a rocky man road… 
But we shall embrace our souls against them 
I mean don’t let another day, go by… 
Down upon our souls we will ride
