Haile Abeba Sound
Out of Addis Abeba the Kingdom come
And Ras Tafari HIM reign inna di African Zion
And now a dis ah di outcome
Haile Abeba Sound
Out of Addis Abeba the Kingdom come
And Ras Tafari reigns!
Let our love renew
As the morning dew
Do onto others as you would have done to you, to you
Let Jah love
Shine on through
You're unique bird's eye view
This is the bloom and the blossom of Solomon's herb
Sowing and reaping of Selassie I's Word
Haile Abeba Sound
Out of Addis Abeba the Kingdom come
And Ras Tafari HIM reign inna di African Zion
And now a dis ah di outcome
Haile Abeba Sound
Out of Addis Abeba the Kingdom come
And Ras Tafari reigns!
Over all
Haile Abeba
Light as a feather
Fire forever
Kisses to the African son;
Inna Haile Abeba
So show I the path Jah
Where I should cross
With the Ark of the Covenant
That's in my heart
Knowing I claim my part
In His story the half
Headcorner from whom I'm carved
The rejection of His stone became the atonement mark
Decrees out of Zion to make I sing and dance, sing and dance
Haile Abeba
Light as a feather
Fire forever
Kisses to the African son;
Inna Haile Abeba Sound
Oh, eh,
Haile Abeba
Light as a feather
Fire forever, ever, ever, ever
Haile Abeba Sound
The kingdom come in Ras Tafari
African Zion
