| Where is Bagawire? He's nowhere around, |
| He can't be found, |
| First betrayer who gave away Marcus Garvey. |
| Son of St. Ann Satan , first prophesy. |
| Catch them, Garvey, wo-oh-oh oh-oh , |
| Hold them Marcus, hold them, mm-mm-mm, |
| Prophecy fulfilled, wo-oh-oh. |
| Catch them, Garvey, catch them, mm-mm-mm, |
| Hold them Marcus, hold them, wo-oh-oh, |
| Marcus Garvey, Marcus, mm-mm-mm. |
| Mm-mm-mm, hold them, Marcus, hold them. |
| Prophecy fulfilled. |

Notes
Marcus Garvey words:
Marcus Garvey's words
Bagawire:
Or Bag-o-wire. Reportedly Marcus Garvey's chauffeur, who betrayed Garvey and then vanished.
St. Ann:
The Kingston parish from which Marcus Garvey (and Burning Spear) came from. It's easy to hear this as "Satan," which is obviously how Sinéad heard it. Note that it refers to either Marcus Garvey or to Bagawire, depending on how it's interpreted.
