Steep Mountain - Capleton

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

Oh, oh, he bingi man will never get weary

The rastaman 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 rastaman 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

Politics 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

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 rastaman 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
