Lyrics

When there's a wrong, there's a right
Father, show us the light
Jamaica take heed, watch yah
Shaggy
Father hear my cry
You see we drowning in our troubles
Forgive us 'cause we know not what we've done
Hear my cry
We need your guidance on the double
We cannot seem to stop what we've begun
Jah, hear my cry
You see we drowning in our troubles
Forgive us 'cause we know not what we've done
Father, hear my cry
We need your guidance on the double
We cannot seem to stop what we've begun
So I, can't bear the pressure, can't even measure
Life without leisure, we tarnish we treasure
Nah get no better, war just a set a
Pace with the youth, them a go place them beretta
One love mi bredda, things a get dreader
No matter what you know say that we can't change the weather
Try live together, spread love instead of
Try fi plot fi hurt one another
Jamaica no nice, even patriots a run away
'Cause it hurt to see just what we've become
They're severing ties, trying they best to make another way
Even though they would prefer not to run
Father hear my cry
You see we drowning in our troubles
Forgive us 'cause we know not what we've done
Hear my cry
We need your guidance on the double
We cannot seem to stop what we've begun
Jah, hear my cry
You see we drowning in our troubles
Forgive us 'cause we know not what we've done
Father, hear my cry
We need your guidance on the double
We cannot seem to stop what we've begun
Look, rise to your calling, no time for stalling
Look within yourself, you see just how far you've fallen
See how you bawling, outspoken and brawling
Not impressive vanity, so son, heed the warning
God hears your talking, sees where you're walking
Carrying some crime scenes where bodies get chalked in
Neighborhood stalking, cross boundary marking
Son, enough with your skylarking
Just open your eyes, we've become our worst enemy
Self-destruction ain't the way we should go
We're paying the price, spending all this time and energy
Look around we ain't got nothing to show
Father hear my cry
You see we drowning in our troubles
Forgive us 'cause we know not what we've done
Hear my cry
We need your guidance on the double
We cannot seem to stop what we've begun
Jah, hear my cry
You see we drowning in our troubles
Forgive us 'cause we know not what we've done
Father, hear my cry
We need your guidance on the double
We cannot seem to stop what we've begun
