Crying Out

(album: Don't Haffi Dread - 1999)

Oh yes, the youths dem wailing
And them crying

We heard the voices crying out
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
So we're here sending a message

How many times do we have to see
Our brothers die in street
From a bullet by another brother
Trying to find food to eat
Just to survive we've gotta be enemies
That is how we get defeat
So that's why we're delivering this message
To every leader in the world

How many times should we hear the voice
Of mothers cry and weep
Because they can't assist
The needs of their own youths in the community
Our people cry and ask for help
Still you don't care about their needs
I hope to see a change some day
This is to every leader in the world

Their wailing, their wailing...
Their wailing, their wailing...
The people are wailing
