Album: Jah Roots
Never give up, never give up
Try to live up, hold your head up (repeat)
I saw them fighting their war and there still can't be any peace
Yet JAH providing water for the birds, the flowers and the trees
Still everyday the number of innocent victims increase
Can't you see mankind stubbournly fighting themselves without any ease
But JAH is not sleeping, he's watching over his children
And while we are weeping, the comforter takes up our burden, saying:
"Don't you cry, hold your head high, 'cause JAH is standing by
He lives in the I, not just in the sky, you got to give love a try!"
A so they're coming with guns and expecting war and crime to cease
But JAH see everything that they're doing to even one of the least
Meanwhile they're sipping champagne and preparing to have a great feast
They are planning to devour JAH children, want to brand them with the mark of the beast
But JAH is never sleeping, he's watching over his children
And while we are weeping, the comforter takes up our burden, saying:
"Don't you cry, hold your head high, 'cause I am standing by
I live in the I, not just in the sky, you got to give love a try!"
Solo
Ooh, JAH is never sleeping, he's watching over his children
And while they are weeping, the comforter takes up their burden, saying:
"Don't you cry, hold your head high, 'cause I am standing by
I live in the I, not only in the sky, you got to give love a try!"
Don't ask me why, I won't tell no lie, got to give love a try
I live in the I, not just in the sky, you got to give love a try
Don't ask me why, I won't tell you no lie
It's just, never give up, never give up
