Lyrics
Waiting for your love
We've been waging war and strife, Lord
We've been taking life for granted, Lord
Misery had found a resting place
In the hearts and soul, soft man cry
Oh, Rastafari, so many times Natty Dread cry
Truth comfort in lies weeping and wailing, people die
Something in the food causing Jah people to go mad
And something with the bullshit they been teaching the youngsters
Whoa, wipe our transgression, some will die before they make a change
Lord, dwell deep within my heart, mm, mm
We've been waging war and strife, Lord
We've been taking life for granted, Lord
Misery had found a resting place, oh, oh
In the hearts and soul, soft man cry
They say there is blood upon your shoulders
They've been taking lives
They'll always try to silence ones who speak of truths and rights
Well, don't matter your color, flesh and bones will pass away
Really not that different, la, la, la la, Natty trying to stay strong
Well, Natty sign for peace inside and equality for every man
I'm the son of a living God, oh, oh
We've been waging war and strife, Lord
We've been taking life for granted, Lord
Misery had found a resting place
In the hearts and soul, soft man cry
If we are gonna move station, unity is to be foundation
Woii, Natty Dread, yes, lift up unu head (oh, ohh, ohh)
Not the time for us to be silent, but the time for us to make strides
Don't be caught in self and play blind
Your heart sees better than your eyesight
Uh, we've been waging, waging war, war and strife
We've been taking life for granted (oh, for granted)
Misery had found a resting place, oh
In the hearts and soul, soft man cry
Hearts and soul, oh
Hearts and soul, oh
Waging war
