Lyrics
Yeah
One set of footprints inna di sand
And yuh a grumble and a screw a seh it shoulda be two
Remember one thing mi youth a Father God have the plan
So when you see one set of footprints, a God carry you
"Hurry up and come back," was the last thing she said to her son
The day his life was taken
She did not 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 mom 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 (ah, I can do this)
When you smile, I smile (keep your head up, yo)
I smile along with you
It was early Sunday morning, mi get up a watch the news
Then mi hear seh last night a seaview dem kill a youth
Den mamma tell mi seh her church sister Jacqueline
Just lose her brother over seaview gardens
When she tell mi, "Jah-Jah know ti" mash mi up naah tell nuh lie
But yuh know seh man a thuggist so yuh naah go see me cry
Every day and every night she still a ask the Father why
Her brother had to die, 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
