This is a song unto the youth
Unto all my seekers of truth
In dis world many things and people will try to lead you astray
Trust in yourself and nah follow dem in any way
We all hold a special light and must let it shine bright
Young one
Oh, young one
Shine like a star
Oh, bright one
No one can change who you are
So wise
You come from far
No one can ever come stain this light ina ya heart
Born in this world of pain and struggle
Youthman, be wise and stay out of trouble (stay out of trouble)
Remember days back in the cradle (back in the cradle)
All innocent, none were evil
None a born slave, none a footstool
All a come nude, we seh none a born rude (none a born rude)
All a come pure, pure and truthful
None a vicious, none a sinful
Oh, young one
Shine like a star
Oh, bright one
No one can change who you are
So wise
You come from far
No one can ever come stain this light ina ya heart
Young one, be wise ina your ways
You can lose it all in a day
Nothing here is for granted
Be grateful in every way
For the sun upon ya face
For your friends and family
With a faith and discipline
Shows results and bettering
In dis world most a gone astray
Brotherman hear me when I say
From the Lord dem a sail away
From the truth, oh, reality
Say dem a gone inna vanity
No follow dem in any way
Keep your faith and humility
Keep your strength and immunity
Oh, young one
Shine like a star
Oh, mi say, bright one
No one can change who you are (no one can change who you are)
So wise
You come from far, ayy
No one can ever come stain this light ina ya heart
