De titelsong van hét klassieke roots reggae album. De vocale harmonieën zijn beeldschoon en in mijn ogen/oren(?) ongeëvenaard, in elk geval binnen het genre. The land far, far away is Afrika, specifiek Ethiopië. Rastafari’s zijn niet bijzonder geïnteresseerd in een ‘hiernamaals’. Zion (het Beloofde Land) bevindt zich op Aarde, niet in de Hemel.
There is a land, far far away
Where there’s no night, there’s only day
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That there’s a land, far far away
That there’s a land, far far away
The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords
Sit upon His throne and He rules us all
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That He rules us all
That He rules us all
The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords
Sit upon His throne and He rules us all
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That He rules us all
That He rules us all
There is a land, far far away
Where there’s no night, there’s only day
Look into the book of life, and you will see
That there’s a land, far far away
That there’s a land, far far away
