Lyrics
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
