ITHIOPIAN ITES
(Music & lyrics by Uwe 'Banton' Schäfer)

this road to zion
this rocky road to zion
can only walk it if your heart is pure
can only walk it if your hands are clean

(chorus):
got to reach my ithiopian ites
JAH JAH is my only eye sight now (repeat)

this road to zion
is a rocky one
this rocky road to zion
is a narrow one

can't reach a zion if you're trodding on broadway
nah go a zion if you're yadding on babylon way

this road to zion
this rocky road to zion
lead I, JAH JAH, lead I
guide I, JAH JAH guide I

this road to zion
this rocky road to zion
lead I, JAH JAH, lead I
guide I, JAH JAH guide I

got to reach my ithiopian ites
JAH JAH is my only eye sight (repeat)
both day and night
turns even darkness into light

no, I won't stray, I won't delay, so while the sun shines
you've got to make hay, hear what I say
JAH Rastafari lead I way, tell all a di weak heart stay away now

so, no matter how they try to conquer, JAH is my only anchor
He is my only guide, on this road to zion

this rocky road, this narrow road
this road to zion
rocky road to zion"
