Rastaman, live up! Bongoman, don't give up! Congoman, live up, yeah! Binghi-man don't give up! Keep your culture Don't be afraid of the vulture! Grow your dreadlock Don't be afraid of the wolf-pack! Rastaman, live up! Binghi-man, don't give up! Congoman, live up, yeah! Bongoman, don't give up! David slew Goliath With a sling and a stone Samson slew the Philistines With a donkey jawbone Iyaman, live up! Rastaman, don't give up! Binghi-man, live up! Congoman, don't give up! Trodding through creation In a irie meditation Seen many visions In-a this yah Armagiddyon Rastaman, live up! Congoman, don't give up! Rastaman, live up, yeah! Natty Dread, no give up! Saw it in the beginning So shall it be in this iwa And they fallen in confusion Well-a just a step from Babel Tower Rastaman live up! Congoman, no give up! Rastaman live up, yeah! Congoman, no give up! Grow your dreadlocks Don't be afraid of the wolf-pack! A-tell you, one man a-walking And a billion man a-sparking Rastaman, live up! Binghi-man, don't give up!

My woman is gone (woman is gone) My woman is gone (woman is gone) She had left me a note hanging on my door She say she couldn't take it, she couldn't take any more The pressure around me - just couldn't see She felt like a prisoner who needs to be freed Fools have tried, wise men have failed Oh, listen to me, honey Life could never be another jail Still we know now, we'll never see smoke without fire And everyone you see, has a heart desire She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone) She's gone (she's gone), she's gone Oh, mocking bird, Have you ever heard words that I never heard? Oh, mocking bird, Have you ever heard words that I never heard? She made it through the exit (She just couldn't take it) She made it through the exit (She just couldn't make it) And, oh, my children, if you see me crying My woman is gone If you see me, if you see me, if you see me If you see me crying If you see me, if you see me, if you see me If you see me crying She's gone (she's gone), she's gone (she's gone) She's gone Oh, mocking bird Have you ever heard words that I never heard?

about

This is new version of this album with Bob and his wife Cindy Breakspeare.

Kaya is a roots reggae album released by Bob Marley and the Wailers in 1978. The album consists of tracks recorded alongside those present on the Exodus album in 1977.

The album has a very relaxed, laid back sound, lacking much of the militant quality of the Wailers lyrically and musically. They received criticism for 'going soft' as a result of the general sound of the album as well as the theme: songs primarily revolving around love, as well as marijuana.

The album's release coincided with the One Love Peace Concert, heralding Marley's triumphant return to Jamaica from exodus in London. Two of the songs are new versions of tracks from the 1971 album Soul Revolution. Well-known songs from the album include "Is This Love" and "Satisfy My Soul". Kaya reached the top five in the UK album charts.
