Footprints

Cry, cry, cry

Wan set ah footprints eena di sand
An yu ah grumble an ah suh yu tink ih shud ah bi tuu
'Member wan ting mi yute, ah Father God hab di plan
Suh wen yu si wan set ah footprints, ah God ah kyarri yu

"Hurry up and come back"
Was the last thing she said to her son
The day his life was taken
She didn't know he wouldn't come back
He died from the bullet of a gun
And now her little boy is gone

She said, "Help me, Lord help me"
And she looked up to the sky
And she heard a voice reply

When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you

When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you

Another baby left homeless
Abandoned when he was two
So the street side kids at the shopping mall was the family he knew
It's not easy being homeless
Sometimes you have to do what you have to do
And he didn't have a mum or dad to help him get through

He said, "Help me, Father help me"
And he looked up to the sky
And he heard a voice reply

When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you

When you cry, I cry (based on a true story)
I cry along with you (my condolences)
When you smile, I smile (keep yuh head up, yeh)
I smile along with you

It was early Sunday mawning, mi get up an watch di news
Den mi ier seh laas nite ah sea view dem kill ah yute
Den mamma tel mi seh har choch sister Jacqueline
Jus luuz har brother ova sea view garden

Wen shi tel mi, Jah Jah kno ih mash mi up, nuh tel mi lie
Buh yuh kno seh mon ah thuggist suh yuh nuh guh si mi cry
Evri daii an evri nite shi still ah aks di Father why
Har brother had tuh die, shi ier ah voice reply

When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you

When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you

When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you

When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
