I a rebel soul
I a rebel soul
I a rebel soul
I a rebel soul

Give me light to brighten up my day
Give me health and strength so I can make, my, my own, own way
As the darkness of the night
Fades away, yellow sun begins to shine
I see my freedom over yonder
But they steal it away
Yes, they steal it away

So I a rebel soul
I a rebel soul
I a rebel soul
I a rebel soul

To save my face, shave of disgrace
I keep laughing like a clown
Stripped of all identity, I am bare beneath the stares
But you can't walk with your head on down
For you just can't see
Which way to go?
Which way to go?

So I a rebel soul
I a rebel, a rebel
I a born a rebel
I a rebel soul
I a rebel soul
I a rebel soul
I a rebel, a rebel
I a born a rebel

Though transgression finds me, I'm confused by the (?)
My captors mesmerize me all to, to bring me down
Still we are the children of the father, and he expects I and I
To push on through, to push on through
Push on through
So the real vanity I can find, so jah, jah
I can be free
I can be free
I can be free
A rebel, a rebel (I a rebel soul) a rebel, I don't know, rebel (I a rebel soul)
I a rebel, I be a rebel (I a rebel soul)
I be a rebel (I a rebel soul, I a rebel soul, I a rebel soul, I a rebel soul)

And you got to face reality, the bottom will be dread, heavy like lead
And the jester will run out of time
Your back's against the wall, and they don't mind if you fall
Look they'll use you, and abuse you, try their best to confuse you, so

A rebel soul
(I a rebel soul) I a rebel
I'll be a rebel, if you no rebel, then I no know (I a rebel soul)
I I a rebel, if you no rebel, then I no know (I a rebel soul)
(I a rebel soul, I a rebel soul, I a rebel soul, I a rebel soul)
