Hail Selassie

 and yet they prudent in them own sight

 Yet things will be alright, oh culture 

 Living in Rome my people how safe you are 
 away from your home I say you're oh so far 
 He has been crowned for fighting so many wars 
 Black belongs to the throne Melchizedek read the stars 
 red gold and green honors the earth, fill my heart with joy 
 You unfold, prince and princess makes your convoy 
 The land of love filled with righteousness for I and I 
 keep I safe in your arms Emperor Selassie I
