Tears of Jah People

Sometimes I take a moment to sit down And cry the tears of my people Come and listen to this reggae sound And cry the tears of my people We don't have any tradition We have been cut off from our root We don't have a land to call our home See me skank in a lamental mood Please don't ask where I come from And expect and answer from me I never knew where is my brother man Him has been sold to a different country Sometimes I take a moment to sit down And cry the tears of my people Come and listen to this reggae sound And cry the tears of my people All my life sanity fled from me Never coulda grasp a clear thought All my life the peace fled from me Separated from Jah love Crying, crying, cry Crying, crying, cry I pray Jah Jah open up Jacob eyes To see the works which you have done Not with gold nor silver nor earthly things You redeemed your people from the evil one We have been sold as slaves We have been chased away From our homes we had to flee But with your blood you bought us out of slavery Sometimes I take a moment to sit down And cry the tears of my people Come and listen to this reggae sound And cry the tears of my people Sometimes I take a moment to sit down And cry the tears of Jah people Come and listen to this reggae sound And cry the tears of Jah people Crying, crying, cry Crying, crying, cry
