Lyrics

Ever since my life begun
Mama told me that Jamaicans are all one
That’s why I can’t see why we fight among ourselves
Why rob and shoot and kill one another
Black or white it’s no disgrace
We’re still part of the human race
We must learn to live in this society
With one hope, one will, we’re one people
There will come a time (a time)
When every knee shall bend
When every tongue shall tell
Of the wrong they have done
There will come a time (a time)
When everyone shall know
The real meaning of love
What a day that will be
What a day that will be
I hope my life is spared
To see the day when people won’t be scared
To walk the street at night to buy the things they need
Without any threat from aggressors
So let’s not waste our time
Let us get rid of the violence and the crime
Let us make this land a better place to live
Build a better future for the children
A better future
A better future
There will come a time (a time)
When every knee shall bend
When every tongue shall tell
Of the wrong they have done
There will come a time (a time)
When every one shall know
The real meaning of love
What a day that will be
What a day that will be
I hope my life is spared
To see the day when people won’t be scared
To walk the street at night to buy the things they need
Without any threat from aggressors
So let’s not waste our time
Let us get rid of the violence and the crime
Let us make this land a better place to live
Build a better future for our children
Build a better future for our children, yeah!
A better future
A better future
