THE GONG IS GONE
When the Wailers played
Planet Earth paid attention
To the Rastaman
When the Wailers wailed
The whole world heard the song
Brother Bob
Reggae singer of songs
Trod on
Through the roads of Zion
Trod on
Through the realms of Zion
Trod on
Trod on
Brother Bob trod on
Singer songwriter philosopher
Many years in the ghetto with the sufferers
Telling the weak it's time to be strong
Telling the wicked it won't be long
Wisdom and truth gonna conquer wrong
Fighting the systems of Babylonians
Teaching Jah Jah children mental liberation
Wisdom and truth gonna conquer wrong
Knowledge and understanding conquer unfair exploitation
Wisdom and truth from the days of your youth
We've got to leave an inheritance
I'm telling JAH JAH Children
Brother Bob
Reggae singer of songs
Trod on
Through the roads of Zion
Trod on
Through the realms of Zion
Trod on
Trod on
Brother Bob trod on
When the Wailers played,
Planet Earth paid attention
To the Rastaman.
When the Wailers wailed
The whole world heard the song
The Gong is gone
Woe
The Gong is gone
Yeah yea
The Gong is gone
Woe yea
The Gong is gone
The Gong is gone
Peter Tosh is gone.
Jah-B is gone.
Planet Earth paid attention
