Verse 1:

What your hands do; it's your own eyes that've seen,

So won't you judge your actions, to make sure the re-sults are clean?

It's your own conscience, that is gonna re-mind you,

That it's your heart and nobody else's, that is gonna judge.

Chorus 1:

Be not selfish, in your doings;

Pass it on, (pass it on, children).

Help your brothers, in their needs; pass it on.

Live for yourself and you will live in vain,

Live for others, and you'll live a-gain.

In the kingdom of Jah, man shall reign.

Pass it on, pass it on.

Pass it on, pass it on.

Verse 2:

What's in the darkness; must be re-vealed to light.

We're not here to judge what's good from bad,

But to do the things that are right.

On a hot, sunny day, under the shadows for rescue.

But as the day grows old; I know the sun is gonna find you.

Chorus 2:

Be not selfish, in your doings;

Pass it on, (pass it on, children).

Help your brothers, in their needs; pass it on.

Live for yourself and you will live in vain,

Live for others, and you'll live a-gain.

In the kingdom of Jah, man shall reign.

Pass it on, pass it on.

Pass it on, pass it on.
