Rescue Jah Children Songtext

von Junior Murvin

Stop the war in Rhodesia
Stop the war in Mozambique

When you take up your daily paper
All you read, Mister Editor
What's going on, on the land?
What a ball of confusion

Confusion here
Confusion there
You have the whole men despair
You have the whole men despair

Somebody got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to give an helping hand

Black against black every day
Too much wolves are in the pack
Got to give an helping hand

Black against black every day
Too much wolves are in the pack
Lord, it's a dirty, dirty shame

The poor people of the ghetto's
They really can't do no better
The man of high society
Sits at home sipping his coffee

Got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to give an helping hand

Little children going to school
Nobody to set the golden rule
Somebody got to set an example
For the children to follow

Because, don't you know
Yes, you should know
They're the people of tomorrow
And it's true, true

Somebody got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to give an helping hand

Somebody got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to give an helping hand
Somebody got to rescue Jah children

The cost of living is rising high
And only the strong will survive
Getting higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher

Somebody got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to give an helping hand
Somebody got to rescue Jah children
