In the Light - Horace Andy

Listen to me carefully:

When I was a little child

I used to think Israel was in the sky

When I was a little child

I used to think Egypt was in the sky

According to the teacher

That I learned in school

Oh how they used to teach I

To turn a fool

But now:

I’m in the light I’m in the light

And its shining bright

I’m in the light I’m in the light

And its shining bright

When I was a little child

They used to say rastaman is no good

I know I used to run from him away

He walked down the street

But let me tell you people

It’s the man who tell the truth

Come in the light come in the light

'Cause its shining bright

Come in the light come in the light

Come on you

When I was a little child

I didn’t know my culture

When I was a little child

I didn’t know my foreparents were from Africa

All the things they used to teach I

Was about England, Canada and America

But now

I’m in the light I’m in the light

And its shining bright

Come in the light come in the light

Come on you

When I was a little child

I didn’t know my culture

When I was a little child

I didn’t know my foreparents were from Africa

All the things they used to teach I

Was about England Canada and America

But now

I’m in Jah light I’m in Jah light

And its shining bright

Come in Jah light come in Jah light

Come on you

Come in Jah light come in Jah light

Come on you

I’m in the light I’m in Jah light

And its shining bright
