Lyrics

La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, day-to-la
Jesus went into the mountain many years ago
His disciples are there
And he began to speak with near meanings
So very loud and clear
He said "Blessed are the poor
For they shall have food
And the blessed are the merciful
And the pure in heart
Or there shall be no mercy for the prosecutor
Who lurks in the dark"
So let us give grace
Jah the children, let our soul be free, uh!
And let us have faith, Jah the children
And our conscience settles free
So when we pray, we must pray for each other
What do we need but goodness and love
For all our brother, sisters?
Huh!
(Sha-la-la-la-loo, la-la-loo)
Huh!
He said "Blessed are the poor
For they shall have food
And blessed are the merciful
And the pure in heart
Or there shall be no mercy for the prosecutor
Who lurks in the dark"
Come, let us give grace
Jah the children, let our souls be free
And let us have faith, Jah the children
And let our heart be free
And when we pray, we must pray for each other
'Cause what do we need but goodness and love
For all our brothers and sisters?
You'll see the light that shine for tomorrow, uh!
There won't be no sorrow
Let us have love and a-faith to carry us on
We must have faith, and we will be strong
Huh!
