Verse: 1
Yes I do welcome, this generation
With vast education, steadfast for the nation
You might be thinking while you're in the situation
“Life have opportunity”? Congratulations.
Show love and unity, you give inspiration
And answers, with the necessary information
About to live among ourselves in this civilization
Knowledge, woah, remove the frustration
Building a new way, for the foundation
To the college, provide all His accommodations
Thanks for all your achievements, you made
me strong, I sing my song

Chorus
Move up, the youths them prospering and so what
Jah's done a lot for them and yo – move up!
The youths them prospering just try know that
Jah's got a lot for them – yo, move up!

Jah's got a lot for them, oh yeah move up
The youths them prospering just try know that
Jah's done a lot for them

Verse: 2
All your life you're going to fight the fightest
Can't see the slightest change for brightest – woah!
Jah will help us if Babylon seems they're too strong for us
Heaven and the earth, did build them for us
Ethiopia now stretch forth her arms for us, crossing River Jordan for us
Preserving African motherland for us

Verse: 3
Oh let me observe, mmm, I'm sailing like a bird. You heard?
Jah protect and guide and keep us all preserved
You neglect us, reject us, and say we are dirt
Now we are surviving, you can't say a word
Give them a shield and armor, all properly gird, you little nerd
We got the whole of the them just a turn
Blue for boys, pink for girls, girls to boys, boys to girls
Red, gold and green rule the world!

Chorus
Boy move up! The youths them prospering –
mmm – so what
Jah's has done a lot for them, yeah move up
The children prospering, just find their lot
Selassie-I done a lot for them
Move up, the youths them prospering and so what
Jah's done a lot for them, a yeah, move up
The youths them prospering – so what
Jah's has done a lot for them
