Wanted children crying from the
|
Backbones of their fathers
|
Wanted children, longing for the
|
Bossom of their mothers (rep.)
|
|
Now didn't JAH create the earth
|
And to the waters did he give birth
|
He divided the waters from the land
|
Rivers for land, and seas for sand
|
Then said he, let there be fight.
|
And he made the darkness bright
|
Greater lights to rule by day
|
Lesser tights to rule by night.
|
|
Nothing or no one can change them
|
Adjust or even rearrange them
|
These creations were here from the beginrung
|
So accept them for what they're worth
|
For all good thing in life are free
|
Like liberty for you and for me
|
As the freedom of a raging storm
|
Let the little children born
|
|
Wanted children, crying from the
|
Backbones of their fathers
|
Wanted children, longin for the
|
Bossom of their mothers (rep).
|
|
And so JAH created man
|
Male and female according to his plan
|
All creatures both great and small
|
And in pairs he create them all
|
To man and woman he gave all dominion
|
Over all creatures that live on creation
|
To multiply and replenish the earth
|
By coming together and so give birth
|
So who are you to try them, price them and sell them
|
Who are you to slave them and to
|
Kill them before them born
|
Who are you to hunt them down
|
Run them down and gun them down
|
Who are you to Judge them and to
|
Put thern to shame and scorn.
|
|
Wanted children, crying from the
|
Backbone of their fathers
|
Wanted children longin for the
|
Bossom of their mothers (rep.)
