The rich man, poor man, beggar man thief,
Everyone claim that them are the chief.
The rich man buy, the poor man's life,
The poor man take away the beggar man's wife.

Don't cry.. my brothers.
Don't cry.. my sisters.
Tears won't change the situation,
It's just a form, a form of reaction.

If you step on fire, fire burn you.
Play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth.
Stand up strong, you got to know where you belong,
Say the weak ones now, will soon become strong.

Hey! Everything will soon be okay,
As soon as the war is over.
Jah children will be free to come over,
Singing and dancing ready to take over.
Have some faith.. have a little faith..

Oh now, my little sisters.

Woo ooh, oh na, na, na.
