It Was Written lyrics - Damian Marley

And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more
And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more

Well, did you know the pen is stronger than the knife
They can kill you once but they can't kill you twice
Did you know destruction of the flesh is not the ending to life?
Fear not of the anti-Christ

Did you know that I exist before the earth?
And did you know that my eyes are windows to the world?
Did you know you can't go, ah Zion and wear Jerry curls?
Can't tell the boys from the girls

Your body is just a vehicle transporting your soul
It's what's inside of people is beauty to behold
Fear not of evil, every day them flesh it grow old
Changes of the times take a toll

And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more
And it was written up in the book of life
That man shall endure forever more

Fear is in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer, live much longer

Fear is in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer, live much longer

A wester on his chest and Rastafari is his name
A gift of everlasting life for us to all sustain
Blessing that you all be got
Lessons taught you all forgot

Rasta call I shit you not
Do you remember Elijah and his chariot of flames
Same blood that run through my veins

Fear is in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much longer, live much longer

Fear is in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the presence of the love maker
Life is in the words of the comforter
Endure much
