In this world of so much confusion
I have come to the conclusion
the only way to change the situation
is to turn to the father of creation.
A little time of meditation
to generate some motivation
and then we'll go all around the nation
spreading Jah positive vibration.

Tudo de bom, tudo de bom
tudo de bom, tudo de bom
and everything is all right.

Num mundo de tanta confusao
ja cheguei a conclusao
para mudar a situacao
vamos ao Pai da criacao.
Um pouco de meditacao
para gerar motivacao
sair por toda essa nacao
levando Jah a sua vibracao.

Tudo de bom! And everything is alright.
Tudo de bom! So we no bother we no fuss or fight.
Tudo de bom! We come together and we all unite.
Tudo de bom! And everything is gonna be alright.
Tudo de bom! Everybody come listen to me.
Tudo de bom! Listen good and listen keenly.
Tudo de bom! Me giving prays to the almighty.
Tudo de bom! For my brazilian friends also family.

What the world needs now, is love sweet love
no, not just for some, but for everyone.
O que o mundo quer agora, e amor doce amor
nao, nao so pra uns, mas pra tudos.

Now all lovers of positive reggae music
could you please fasten your seat belts because we have lift off.

Go Pato! everybody telling me to
Go Pato! all over America!

I want the whole wide world to know
that Pato Banton is on the go.
Just like a tree that plant by the rivers of water
I will surely grow.
Everyday I kneel and pray
that Jah will guide me on my way.
I wanna be good yes I wanna do right
and I don't want to go astray.
People tell me yes they do
they say Pato Banton we love you.
That's why I want to dedicate this song
to everyone of you.
To every friend and every fan
and every radio D. J. too.
Every reggae reporter, producer, promoter

And all the youth I stand and salute
for staying loyal to the reggae roots.
They give me the strength to push on through
because they tell me to ...

An M. C. is not a Banton without style and pattern.
To get an answer you have to ask a question.

And they even have a ritual unto Jah that is abominable.

A little bit of honey to fix up Pato's vocals.
Then it's off to the dance to jump and prance and wiggle and jiggle
