I got a question I would like to ask
What's really going on
'Cause every time I turn my radio or I turn my TV on
All I see is bad news there's no good news
Nowhere to be found
A youth just lost his mom
Baby a dead before dem born

Dem a lose dem head, lose dem head
Every day mi get up four, five, six dead
Di youths dem nowadays nah hold no meds
Wi tired a di war, tired a di bloodshed

Dem a lose dem head, lose dem head
Every day mi get up four, five, six dead
Di youths dem nowadays nah hold no meds
Wi tired a di war, tired a di bloodshed

We need to stop, take a look
Check yuh self and tell mi if it really mek sense
How can a little island like sweet Jamaica
Have so many crime and violence
Is there a safe place where we can go
Where only good loving flow
Di youths dem only a hear dem nah listen
Dat's why so much blood a flow

Dem a lose dem head, lose dem head
Every day mi get up four, five, six dead
Di youths dem nowadays nah hold no meds
Wi tired a di war, tired a di bloodshed

Dem a lose dem head, lose dem head
Every day mi get up four, five, six dead
Di youths dem nowadays nah hold no meds
Wi tired a di war, tired a di bloodshed

A new year is about to start
So Father please put your bless' on us
'Cause only prayers can save the day
Why won't the nation join me and pray
We're praying for a brighter way and a sacred place
Like back in the golden days
We're praying for a better tomorrow
With only joy, no sorrow

Dem a lose dem head, lose dem head
Every day mi get up four, five, six dead
Di youths dem nowadays nah hold no meds
Wi tired a di war, tired a di bloodshed

Dem a lose dem head, lose dem head
Every day mi get up four, five, six dead
Di youths dem nowadays nah hold no meds
Wi tired a di war, tired a di bloodshed
