Big Mountain - Fruitful Days Lyrics

I ya man have come to know
The movement looks strong
From reading the scriptures
I know we ain't wrong, no
Jah Jah people work together
We help out one another
And we ain't got no time to lose
Must teach the ignorant truth, so

More fruitful days
That is what the people need
More fruitful days, ah yeah

Can't wait for promises of salvation
It's time to free our people
With a promise of some dignity
Rise up and heal the situation
Hear you call, yeah, yeah
Rasta people must face our destiny

More fruitful days
That is what the people need
More fruitful days
Time to heal the hurtin'
More fruitful days
Seeking out the righteous
More fruitful days

Them a build their conspiracies
With no justice in sight
You just can't keep fillin' up the youth
With all those dirty lies
It's about healin' people
Healin' the people
Healin' the people

I tell ya straight
If we take the time
You know, we will see
That to tell the youth the truth
Is the only remedy

More fruitful days
That is what we're fightin' for
More fruitful days
Time to heal the people
More fruitful days
Seeking out the righteous
More fruitful days
It's about healin' people (repeat 7 times)

And mashing down oppression
And rights in this ya nation
And seeking out the righteous
And teachin' right the children
