Tears of Jah People 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
