Lift up your hearts with a smile
Lift up your feet with a dance
Lift up your spirits with a song
It’s family time, it’s family time, it’s family time

Hi, how you doing? Hi, how you been?
It’s really good to know we still got this thing

Lift up your hearts with a smile
Lift up your feet with a dance
Lift up your spirits with a song
It’s family time, it’s family time, it’s family time

Everyone can see it’s time to be free

Featuring Rita and Cedella Marley on vocals.

I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you
I love you too, I love you too
I love you

When you smile I’ll smile along
When you cry my comfort comes
When you walk I’ll be beside you
Holding your hands

When the sun come out we play
I’ll never be far away
When you tell me that you love me
This is what I’m gonna say

I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you
I love you too, I love you too
I love you

Like the fish loves the sea
Like the honey and the bee
Like a lizard loves to climb up into a tree
Like a bird love to fly way up in the sky
Like a worm loves to go way down low

I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you
I love you too, I love you too
I love you

Like the grass loves to be green
And the earth loves to be clean
Like the sun loves to shine
And the monkey loves to climb

Hey, it happens naturally
And that’s the way it’s got to be
And the worm still loves to go way down low

I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you
I love you too, I love you too
I love you

From the first time that I saw you
I knew that it was true
There’ll be a lifelong time to spend
Around the corner around the bends

Up the hills and through the valleys
No matter how things change
This one thing will remain
I’ll sing it again and again

I love you too, I love you too
I love you too, I love you too
I love you
When the sun come out we play
I’ll never be far away
And when you tell me that you love me
This is what I’m gonna say

I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you
I love you too, I love you too

I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you
I love you too, I love you too

I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you
I love you too, I love you too

I love you too, I love you too
I tell you I love you

Featuring Jack Johnson and Paula Fuga.

Hey… I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free

Mommy loves to work and daddy loves to play
Sometimes daddy got to go far away
I’m too young to go quiet in the night
Try to put me to sleep I’m gonna give it a fight

I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free

Wake you up at 5 am
Before the sunrise I’ll be your friend
And you know I don’t like for you to take too long
Just come running when you hear this song

[Chorus]

Well now….I’m gonna miss you now Mr. Far Away
Paint a picture of you and send it off today
And when you come home you can bring it back to me
Color in the lines, define this whole world for me
[Chorus]

Practice makes perfect and that I agree
So don’t be surprised that I want to be free
I know what I know and that’s all that I know
But I been told you reap what you sow

[Chorus]

Mama’s telling me what to eat today
But I don’t feel like I’m gonna go that way
What I need is something sweet and nice
What I need is a treat alright

I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
Set the children free. Set the children free
Set the children free

Free up their hearts, free up their minds
Set the children free
Free up their dreams and their imagination

Set the children free
Set the children free

Featuring Toots Hibbert.

Walk tall, walk tall
Even if you fall get up
Stand tall, stand tall
Even if you fall get up

Walk tall, walk tall
Even if you fall get up
Stand tall, stand tall
Even if you fall get up

Life is a lesson that we must learn
If you play with fire you might get burned
If you worry too much
You gonna get stressed
So brush off the dust
And lift up your chest

[Chorus]

Everyone creeps before they walk
Everyone cries before they talk
There comes a time you gotta be strong
So pick up your feet and sing this song

[Chorus]

Don’t you worry ’bout how it looks
Not everything was written in a book
Some things you learn as you go
But here’s one thing you already know

[Chorus]

Nothing is ever gonna keep me down
I jump over hurdles I’ll come around
And if at first I don’t succeed
I’m gonna try it again
Till I get what I need

[Chorus]

Jook it

Even if you fall get up
Even if you fall get up
Even if you fall get up
Even if you fall get up
Yeah

Walk tall, walk tall
Stand tall, stand tall
Walk tall, stand tall
Walk tall, stand tall
