Lyrics
Watching the time our people are moving and murmuring to myself
Wish it never had to be, the way I see his world running
Shouldn't have to be
'Cause now every man's cup is filled with hate and overflowing
Father, enough things a gwan round ya, it's wickeder than before
We really check sey we coulda run things, but it not look so anymore, no
Come down father, come down
Come down father, come down
I beg You come down father, come down
Come down father, I beg You, come down
In my heart, I know that You won't let Your chosen people suffer (too long)
I know You would never let us down, oh-oh-oh-no-no-no
Many times I coulda pick up a gun
I coulda go out a street and play Big John
That's no fun no, sure ain't no fun, oh no, 'cause I think
What would happen if the other man, thinks the same
Then bullets fall like rain
It's no fun no, no it's no fun
Oh, I see greed, and I see selfishness, every man is for himself
Only You can talk to them Father, 'cause they listen to no one else, no
Come down father, come down
Come down father, come down
Talk to the hearts of those responsible
Let them know their actions are despicable
Remind them that it's You who wears the Crown
Come down father, come down, yes
I beg You come down father, come down
Oh, come down father, come down
Come down father, come down, yeah, hmm
Watching the time our people are moving and murmuring to myself
Oh, unto the ones who think you can do these wrongs and get away
Woe unto you and watch out for your day
I wish it never had to be, the way I see, this world running
Shouldn't have to be
'Cause now everyone's cup is filled with hate and overflowing
Father, enough things a gwan round ya, it's wickeder than before
We really believe we coulda run things, but it nuh look so anymore, no
Come down father, come down
I beg You come down father, come down
Father come down father, come down, yes
I beg You come down father, come down
Come down father, come down
Come down father, come down
