Tears
Why tell me why
Take me away from here, things my eyes behold they make me cry
How could the world reject them so turning a blind eye to their plight why tell me why
Some have to walk across the Sahara, some have to swim across the Mediterranean
Moved by suffering drawn to greener pastures, all fear is gone
Don't you see the tears, the tears in their eyes?
When they cry, don't you hear?
Equal rights and justice for all, freedom of movement for all
I beg you change your policies, change your laws, change your constitution
Let Rastafari love guide your thoughts, open up your bowels of compassion
Let humanity prevail, please show us your human face
Don't you see the tears, the tears in their eyes?
When they cry, don't you hear?
Remember one day, the people they will be free
As long as the sun shines, Babylon will be burning down
Remember one day, the table will be turning
I know you don't feel their pain, no
But tell me now
Don't you see the tears, the tears in their eyes?
When they cry, don't you hear?
Take me away from here, things my eyes behold they make me cry
How could the world reject them so turning a blind eye to their plight why tell me why
Some have to walk across the Sahara, some have to swim across the Mediterranean
Moved by suffering drawn to greener pastures, all fear is gone
Don't you see the tears, the tears in their eyes?
When they cry, don't you hear?
Equal rights and justice for all, freedom of movement for all
I beg you change your policies, change your laws, change your constitution
Let Rastafari love guide your thoughts, open up your bowels of compassion
Let humanity prevail, please show us your human face
Don't you see the tears, the tears in their eyes?
When they cry, don't you hear?
Remember one day, the people they will be free
As long as the sun shines, Babylon will be burning down
Remember one day, the table will be turning
I know you don't feel their pain, no
But tell me now
Don't you see the tears, the tears in their eyes?
When they cry, don't you hear?
