CHORDS : ( Bbm, Fm)
BbmStanding so I Bbmcan see them bFmeneath the morFmning sky
All those who seek to climb so high
To insure the river Jordan will not run dry
All of the tears run out of the valley high
Oh a den Mesada! I fear the War's out
Tell Father they've come, oh tell Mother they've come
Lord forgive they for they have stamped on the ocean
Oh forgive them who trampled by the way side
Lord forgive them who trot upon the ocean
Lord forgive them for all of dem a they don't know
They sit there robbing de poor
We shall stand upon the lies they told
Rocking the boat that they stole,
Remember Babylon Dbrule Abthem... BbmDread Iyon Dread
BbmDem a payaka, Bbmwant to live aFmnd be so free Fmyeah, oh lord
Now if dem want to live, if dem want to live, oh now shelter we
Oh Father they stole, another one, another country poor
Oh another one, another country poor
Well now the youth man say
Well now the Convenant say, oh the youth man say
And the a government now they don't know
Now they don't see Jah people don't want to
Believe them, no more, they are deceive yes, no more
While they sit in their illusion wondering how

And left them all out, and left them all out
To suffer inna dis a ghetto while dem trampled out

Seeking to climb the ladder so high
Oh the mighty Jordan will not run dry
So our tear drop from valley to the sky
Oh they don't know, they sit there punishing the poor
While all my brethren a lock up 'pon the floor
Give us our justice and we will seek no more

Standing so I can see them beneath the morning sky

All those who seek to climb so high

To insure the river Jordan will not run dry

All of the tears run out of the valley high

Oh a den Mesada! I fear the War's out

Tell Father they've come, oh tell Mother they've come
