The Abyssinians Satta Massagana Lyrics
1.Satta Massagana

Lyricist:Carl Dawkins, Donald Manning, Linford Elijah Manning

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

2.Know Jah Today

Lyricist:Bernard Collins

Know Jah today and not tomorrow
Know Jah today and there'll be no sorrow

Tomorrow will be too late
And you'll be knockin' on the gate
So don't, don't let this chance pass you by
You don't, don't know what lies ahead

Tomorrow will be too late
And you'll be knockin' on the gate
So don't, don't let this chance pass you by
You don't, don't know what lies ahead

Know Jah today and not, and not tomorrow
Know Him, I say and there'll be no sorrow
You got to know Jah today and not, and not tomorrow

Know Him, I say, know Him I say
You got to know Jah today, know Him I say
You better know Jah today, there's no other way
You better know Jah today


3.African Race

Lyricist:Collins Bernard N, Manning Donald Augustus, Manning Linford
Elijah

We are the slave descendants from the African race
The African race, the African race
We are the slave descendants from the African race
Where proud is no disgrace

Our forefathers were taken away, taken away, taken away
They were bound in ships and shackled all the way
Like baggage and brought to the West

They swapped my brother now, also, my sister too
For a drink of wine, so they could drink and be merry
So they could drink and be merry

I speak Amharic, my sister speaks Swahili
They put us together now, that's why we can't understand
That's why we can't understand

We are the slave descendants from the African race
The African race, the African race
We are the slave descendants from the African race
Where proud is no disgrace

We're proud of our African race
(Is no disgrace)
Where proud is no disgrace
(Is no disgrace)
We're proud of our African race
(Is no disgrace)
Where proud is no disgrace
(Is no disgrace)
