“The goal of wisdom is the good life, here and now.”265 Marley similarly emphasizes a this-worldly life of joy: “[I]f you know what life is worth / You would look for yours on earth.”266 Marley does not want people to have to wait until the afterlife to live. He states, “I want people to live big and have enough,”267 and proclaims “Rastaman live up!”268 and “the greatest thing is life.”269”

“So I Idren, I sistren / Which way will we choose / We better hurry, oh hurry, oh hurry, woe now / ’Cause we’ve got no time to lose.”429 This urgency intensifies toward realized eschatology in the song’s final verse: “So I Idren, I sistren / The preaching and talking is done / We’ve gotta live up, woe now, woe now / ’Cause the Father’s time has come”430 (cf. Mark 1:15).”
