As I was trodding through the ghetto one night
I heard the sound of reggae music playing
And as I drew closer to the music
I smell the sweet aroma of the sinsemilla burning singing

Love one another, don't hate your sisters and brothers
Just let your love light shine on through now
Love one another, don't hate your sisters and brothers
Just let, let your love light shine on through now

So I went singing and rocking and swaying
To the ridim of light
Took a draw of the sinsemilla
And everything was all right, all right, oh

Even though I wasn't invited
I was welcomе to the jam they werе having
And when I looked out through the door
There was an audience a-singing to the chorus line, which said

Love one another, don't hate your sisters and brothers
Just let, let your love light shine on through now
Love one another, don't hate your sisters and brothers
Just let, let your love light shine on through now

So I went singing and a-rocking and swaying
To the ridim of light
I took a draw of the sinsemilla
Everything was all right, all right, oh
Even though I wasn't invited
I was welcome to the jam they were having
And when I looked out through the door
There was an audience a-singing to the chorus line, which said

Love one another, don't hate your sisters and brothers
Just let your love light shine on through now
Love one another, don't hate your sisters and brothers
Just let, let your love light shine on through now

Love one another, don't need to hate your sisters and brothers
Just let your love light shine on through
We need more love, we don't need no hate
We got to throw away all hatred
Give love, give love
