Moses gave Joshua the rod
To lead the children to the Promised Land
Selassie gave Michael the rod
To lead the children to the Promised Land
Sipple done and tedious come
It makes no sense beating up our gums
Sipple done and tedious come
It makes no sense beating up our gums
Lets get together
And help each other
To build a new island in thе sun
Gather up your flocks my friends
Soon therе’ll be a great exodus
Sipple gone and tedious a come
Just bang your belly and sit down steady
It tedious a yard
It tedious abroad
Gather up your flock my friends
Soon there’ll be a great exodus
Moses gave Joshua the rod
To lead the children to the Promised Land
Selassie gave Michael the rod
To lead the children to the Promised Land
It makes no sense to sit and cry
When there’s no water the well run dry
It makes no sense to sit and cry
When there’s no water the well run dry
Let’s get together
And help each other
To build a new island in the sun
