Run, come listen to the roots, my children
Now, now, now
Open your hearts to truth
Hey, many are the calling
But it is only a few that are chosen
I have given your warning just
If naked people won't listen
They can hear your calling just
But it's vanity they are craving
Killing and maiming and murdering
And blaming it on the system
You should get on your knees and pray
To job for a brand new day
Listen what the roots man say
Don't let your future fade away
Now, now, now
Listen to the roots, my children
Listen to the roots, my children
Open your hearts to truth
Right now, mercy gone and judgment coming
Real soon their fun will be done
There will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth
There is nowhere that you can run
I bless your name, oh Lord, I pray
Your praise will be my song
And me and my house will praise your name
Until my days are done
Get on your knees and pray
I know Jah will make a way
Listen what the roots man say
The wicked will have to run away
Listen to the roots, my children
Now, now, now
Open your hearts to truth
Listen to the roots, my children
Listen to the roots, my children
Listen to the roots, my children


I hear your heart's, to truth
Many are the calling
But, it is only a few that are chosen
I have given your warning Jah
Sleep naked people won't listen
They can hear your calling, Jah
But, it's vanity they are craving
Killing and maiming and murdering
And blaming it on the system
You should get on your knees and pray
Good job for a brand new day
Listen what the Rootsman say
Don't mess your future right away
Now, now, now
Listen to the Rootsman children
Listen to the Rootsman
Open your hearts to truth
Right now, mercy gone and judgment coming
Real soon their fun will be done
There will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth
There's nowhere that you can run
I'll bless your name, oh, John, I pray
Your praise will be my song
And me and my house, we will praise your name
Until our days are done
Get on your knees and pray
Good job for a brand new day
I know that we'll make a way
Listen what the Rootsman say
