Imagine
Ooh-ooh
Imagine, if Marcus Garvey was the youth's 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 mistery
Immediately before it seeps in an opportunity, for unity
Each one must teach one, the neighbor's little youth
Is your son your daughter your sister your brother
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution
Imagine traditional initiation as part of the process
To teach the youths dem discipline
Imagine how learning would be heightened by a positive example
From the ones to whom the youths dem listening
Uprightness and the mindset will be a given
The standard by which we'd be living
One militant time efficient community in unity
Yes, each one must teach one, the neighbor's little youth
Is your son, your daughter, your sister, your brother
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution (revolution)
No need to be specific, there are those who breed hatred
To tear 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 (hot on the mission)
Even those who lack vision (those who lack vision)
Can confidently trust in the youth (trust in the youth)
If we arm them with the truth, strong and steady from the root
Yes each one must teach one, the neighbor's little youth
Is your son your daughter your sister your brother
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution (revolution)
Waiting for you must become (revolution, revolution)
A part of who you must become (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 its fate
Each one must teach one
Imagine, if Marcus Garvey was the youth's 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 mistery
Immediately before it seeps in an opportunity, for unity
