Listen to me carefully: When I was a little child I used to think Israel was in the sky When I was a little child I used to think Egypt was in the sky According to the teacher That I learned in school Oh how they used to teach I To turn a fool But now: I'm in the light I'm in the light And its shining bright I'm in the light I'm in the light And its shining bright When I was a little child They used to say rastaman is no good I know I used to run from him away He walked down the street But let me tell you people It's the man who tell the truth Come in the light come in the light 'Cause its shining bright Come in the light come in the light Come on you When I was a little child I didn't know my culture When I was a little child I didn't know my foreparents were from Africa All the things they used to teach I Was about England, Canada and America But now I'm in the light I'm in the light And its shining bright Come in the light come in the light Come on you When I was a little child I didn't know my culture When I was a little child I didn't know my foreparents were from Africa All the things they used to teach I Was about England Canada and America But now I'm in Jah light I'm in Jah light And its shining bright Come in Jah light come in Jah light Come on you Come in Jah light come in Jah light Come on you I'm in the light I'm in Jah light And its shining bright
