there is a little place in africa
where all the children died of aids
and there is a little place called jamaica
children lose their lives in first grade
and there is a little place in asia
children lose their lives to bombs and grenades
and there is a place called america
children are growing up being afraid
we are living in a crazy lazy world
most people fight for power
we are living in a crazy lazy world
only jah can save us from the belly of the beast
say there is no more chains
round their feet or round their necks
but the trick is it's all in the brain
fighting everyday that's the price you have to pay
for the birth right that you gave away
