Steep Mountain

Capleton


Chorus: 
Well it is a steep mountain to climb 
And it is a deep river to cross 
The road is rocky and rough 
So I can't afford for my soul to lost 

And I cannot take this no longer 
And I cannot bear this no more 
Tired to see my sisters and brothers 
Convicted and ignored 

So I got to fetch the righteous key 
And I got to open sesame 
And I got to set the captive free 
And I got to hail His majesty 
And I got to emancipate myself from mental slavery 

The bingi man will never get weary 
The rasta man will never grow old 
That's why the half has never been told 
But the bingi man 
come fi clean up dem soul 
the bingi man will never get weary 
the rasta man will have his reward 

but Jah Jah bless I with the strength 
and the comfort of His love 
so long the liar bring this out 
and you no read between the lines 
then oonu woulda see what the rastaman find 
the truth and the love that is so divine 
unity, strength and we have fi combine 
this is a collective mission 
everyone have to join 
any means necessary 
a method we have to find 
to stop all the war, poverty and crime 
politricks and religion we have fi lef that behind 
can't go a Zion with no carnal mind 
look how we a warn dem time after time 
be your brother's keeper and you sister same time 
remember that you mother and you father is divine 
to righteousness you must always incline 
oonu see Jah sign
