Smoke Of Righteosness lyrics

In the red dirt, drumbeat from my old yard Ancestors in the cool breeze, sing Blessings over these scars Green hills and a slow chant, children running through the cave Elders reasoned by the roadside, turned suffering into flames Smoke of righteousness, rise up, oh, rise up Carry this brittle job, light up, oh, light up One love stronger than Babylon, light up We charred down every wall, light up Smoke of righteousness, we still stand tall They tax every poor man, still they smiling in the gold Towers made of glass shine, hearts inside so cold We plant little gardens, share food, share time Turn street corner corners into temples for the devised Smoke of righteousness, rise up, oh, rise up Carry this brittle job, light up, oh, light up One love stronger than Babylon, light up We charred down every wall, light up Smoke of righteousness, we still stand tall Irie in the struggle, yeah, sweet in the fight Rebel with compassion, blazing through the night Pride in our journey, unity in our song When we breathe this healing, we remember we are strong Smoke of righteousness, rise up, oh, rise up Rise up, rise up, oh, rise up Smoke of righteousness, rise up, oh, rise up Rise up, oh
