Imagine - Jah9

Imagine, if Marcus Garvey was the youths dem example

What the future would be promising

Imagine if Haile was the teacher and the scriptures were speeches

To prepare them for the journey to begin

A new perspective on history to enlighten the mystery

Immediately before it seeps in

An opportunity, for unity

Each one must teach one the neighbour’s little yout

Is your son your daughter your sister your brother

A part of who you must become

In the event, of revolution

Imagine if initiation was a part of the process

To teach the youths dem discipline

Imagine how learning would be heightened by a positive example

By the ones to whom the youths dem listening

Integrity and humility were a given

The standard by which we’d be living

Like one righteous militant community

In unity

Each one must teach one the neighbor’s little yout

Is your son your daughter your sister your brother

A part of who you must become

In the event, of revolution

No need to speak specifics there are those who breed hatred

To keep those together apart

But remember that justice is real living judgment

Like cancer you can plant in your own heart

So when it’s hot on the mission even those who lack vision

Can confidently trust in the youth

If we arm them with the truth

Strong and sturdy from the root

Each one must teach one the neighbor’s little yout

Is your son your daughter your sister your brother

A part of who you must become

In the event, of revolution

For they are who we will become

In the event

Of revolution

The solid basis for all lies in education.

It is education, which allows people

to live together, and makes them avoid the pitfalls of immorality,

and induces respect «for the law.

Truly, the attainment of these high aims is

based on education.

The helping of people to live together to avoid indulgence

immorality and lawlessness.

To command and to be commanded is the fruit of

education and unity and confidence is the result.

Education of the youth is the

surest guarantee for a better life.

From truth alone are born liberty and only

an educated people can consider itself really free and master of it’s fate.»

Each one must teach one
