Story behind the song

My husband wrote the words and I put them to music. They reflect the beliefs of the Rastafarians from Jamaica (Our home country). As with editorials, I must say these do not neccessarily reflect our beliefs.

Lyrics

Ja Ja Rastafari

          C                            D                              G                  Em
Boys and girls and girls and boys and little babies too
C                               D                         C                D
Now is the time for us to rhyme and tell a story true


                   G        Am     G                   Am         G                             Am
Chorus 	Ja Rastafari, is the one for I and I. The mighty lion of Judah
                   G                         Am            C                      D            C   D
Haile Selassie of Ethiopia. No one knows why, but Ja Rastafari


G	             Am             G                                      Am   
1.      When I was a little child, they told me about the Rastafari
         G                                      Am                  G               
Said he was the mighty Lord of Lords. Told me about him
      Am                        C                  D              C                          D
In wondrous words.  Ja Ja Ja Ja Rastafari, He is the one for I and I
                       
       	
2.	May the spirit of the Rastafari, help to lift you up on high
	One man say you can touch the sky, another one will make you fly
	Ja Ja Ja Rastafari, he is the one for I and I      (Chorus)


3.	Listen to the words of I and I, let me teach you bout the Rastafari
	And his children shall never die, listen and you shall hear them cry
	Ja Ja Rastafari, He is the one for I and I            (Chorus)
