lyrics

Intro: "Ishmael, oh Ishmael!"
response: "Hail brother Isaac"
Isaac: "you know the only difference between us is the line is this sand"
Ismael: "run music and unite the land"

Dayna Igziabiher y mas gan (Great G-d let him be praised)
our Creator is ONE
lâ ilâha illâ Allâh (there is no G-d but Allah)
the owner of Sun, Moon, and Stars

He make the wine turn to water, cool turn to hotter, fire pon Babylon throne
you see my Mama and Papa, brother and sister, we nah guh be a Babylon drone
man shall not live by bread alone
just the seed that the Most High sown
down in the valley with the dry, dry bones

strong to deliver and mighty to save
liberation and life from grave
only ONE life foundation
dayna Igziabeher Y mas gan
full of forgiveness near and far
make us know who we are
waves and wind, light and power
lâ ilâha illâ Allâh!

igzabier Y mas gan
our Creator is ONE
lâ ilâha illâ Allâh!
giver of Sun, Moon and Stars

no matter the space, race or tongue
our Creator is one
a fire by night and a cloud by day
glory to Jah let Him be praised
full of forgiveness, near and far
make us know who we are
waves and wind, light and power
lâ ilâha illâ Allâh!

(repeat)
strong to deliver and ,mighty to save
liberation and life from grave
only one life foundation
Igziabeher Y mas gan
full of compassion near and far
yes we know - who You are
wave and wing- light and power
lâ ilâha illâ Allâh!

(repeat)
He make the wine turn to water, cool turn to hotter, fire pon Babylon throne
you see my Mama and Papa, brother and sister, we nah guh be a Babylon clown
man shall not live by bread of stone
but the every word that the Almighty sown
Jah Jah in the valley puttin flesh to the bones
troddin liberation zone
