Rescue Jah Children

Stop the war in Rhodesia (Rhodesia)

Stop the war in Mozambique

When you take up your daily paper

All you read, Mister Editor

What's going on, on the land?

What a bunch of confusion

Confusion here, confusion there

You have the all men despair

You have the all men despair

Somebody, got to rescue Jah children

Somebody, got to give an helping hand

Black against black every day

Too much wolves are in the pack (Are they?)

Got to give an helping hand

Black against black every day

Too much wolves are in the pack

Lord, it's a dirty, dirty shame

The poor people of the ghettos

They really can't do no better

The man of high society

Sits at home sipping his coffee

Got to rescue Jah children

Somebody, got to rescue Jah children

Somebody, got to give an helping hand

Little children going to school

Nobody to set the golden rule

Somebody got to set an example for the children to follow

Because, don't you know

Yes, you should know

They're the people of tomorrow

And it's true, true

Somebody, got to rescue Jah children

Somebody, got to give an helping hand

Somebody, got to rescue Jah children

Somebody, got to give an helping hand

Somebody, got to rescue Jah children (Somebody)

The cause of living is wise in heart

And only the strong will survive (Somebody)

Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher

Higher, higher, higher, higher

Somebody, got to rescue Jah children

Somebody, got to give an helping hand now

Somebody, got to rescue Jah children
