Young Tree

Dem trying to cut down dem young tree
 Don't want to see a future for me
 But dem see I know
 Jah prophesy fulfilling before we
 One day a higher society
 Will ease the sufferation of the poor I see
 But all dem looking at the poor man crying
 Saying thanks God it's not me
 Cuttin' it down limb from limb
 Rip it out at the roots
 Cuttin' it down limb from limb
 Rip it out at the roots
 No matter the color, no matter the race
 Dem young tree, oh dem young tree
 Man is born free yeah, man is born free
 Underneath the holy young tree, the young tree
 Holy young tree
 Well man is born free yeah, man is born free
 That's the way it's got to be
 And a woman born free, born free, so shall it be
 But I have no fear, no fear at all
 As them come upon I yard, dem yard, wa yard
 I have no fear, no fear at all
 As them come upon I yard, dem yard, wa yard
 Saying goodbye to you warmonger country
 No more will you see I in
 And with a clean and a pure in heart
 I will nurse back to health
 This failing young tree
 Cuttin' it down limb from limb
 Rip it out at the roots
 Cuttin' it down limb from limb
 Rip it out at the roots
 Man is born free yeah, man is born free
