Almighty God is The Living Man

Preacher man, don't tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
It's not all that glitters is gold;
'Alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. come on!


Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. jah!


We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is [the] living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (what you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (yeah, yeah, yeah! )

DISCLAIMER:  Originally, I meant to write a Found Poem based on this, BUT I realized I'd do the work injustice, and so decided to just share the original work verbatim.

THIS IS NOT MY WORK AT ALL, 
AM JUST CELEBRATING BOB MARLEY 
AND THIS IS HIS WORK VERBATIM.
