Rescue Jah Children - 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
