I need Ellegua to crack open the code
Prophet Jeremiah standin at the crossroads
it's Mama Africa singin dirty blue notes
riddim, the voice of Jah pulsing up thru the bones
which way are you going now child?
we once were lost but now we're found
which way are you going now child?
back to the earth come on and follow me down
is your life in tune with Mama Nature?
that's what's gonna keep you on the level
or are you marching along with the dominator,
better check yoself, who's makin deals with the devil?
We have lost the good way
we have all gone astray
and we're gonna have to pay
unless we can all be saved
return to the ancient paths
live a holy life at last
if down that road you shall go
you'll find healin for your soul
down from the heavens and up through the floor
we are calling out to you to open up the door
O divine child with the old mans staff
teach us the trick, let us learn how to laugh
help us to hear from the red and the black
where is the path that can lead us back?
remove all the obstacles in the way
