One Thing

[Intro]
Woy!
My Lawd!
He alone can help us today
So go on your knees and pray

[Chorus]
One t'ing I can do, one t'ing I can say
Almighty God ah lead di way
He's my guide and protector, night and day
(Th)at I will never fade away
One t'ing I can do, one t'ing I can say
Almighty God ah lead di way
He's my guide and protector, night and day
'at I will never fade away

[Verse 1]
Night time, when I lay myself to rest
Head pon me pillow, meditate Godliness
Pray fi di cripple, dumb, di blind an' di deaf
Pray fi di animal, di bird in ah di nest
Pray fi di man dem t'ink 'bout safe sex
Pray fi di youth, in ah di school 'round di desk
Pray fi di world cuh it really in ah mess
Where me get me wisdom from? Burnin' di cess
Woy!

[Chorus]
One t'ing I can do, one t'ing I can say
Almighty God ah lead di way
He's my guide and protector, night and day
'at I will never fade away
One t'ing I can do, one t'ing I can say
Almighty God ah lead di way
He's my guide and protector, night and day
'at I will never fade away

[Verse 2]
Read ah psalms a day, keep di Devil away
Selassie I rule, yuh mus' obey
No mix wit' evil doers, lesbian neither gay
No get involve wit' dem evil play
Hands haffi clean, heart haffi pure
Ah di only way fi go through Zion door, chu!

[Chorus]
One t'ing I can do, one t'ing I can say
Almighty God ah lead di way
He's my guide and protector, night and day
'at I will never fade away
One t'ing I can do, one t'ing I can say
Almighty God ah lead di way
He's my guide and protector, night and day
'at I will never fade away

[Verse 3]
Dis is what di world get overstand

Who no seek - dem blind, dey're on sinking sand
No recievin' you weak when you receiving you strong
Every entertainer take dem Bob exam
Show to di world that them ah Rastaman

Capleton, Risto Benji, Buju Banton
Accept Selassie I's the Almighty One
Let's trod-on-back to di motherland

[Chorus]
One t'ing I can do, one t'ing I can say
Almighty God ah lead di way
He's my guide and protector, night and day
'at I will never fade away
One t'ing I can do, one t'ing I can say
Almighty God ah lead ah way
He's my guide and protector, night and day
'at I will never fade away

[Verse 1]
Night time, when I lay myself to rest
Head pon me pillow, meditate Godliness
Pray fi di cripple, dumb, di blind an' di deaf
Pray fi di animal, di bird in ah di nest
Pray fi di man dem t'ink 'bout safe sex
Pray fi di youth, in ah di school 'round di desk
Pray fi di world cuh it really in ah mess...
