A Jah Jah deh, surely keep the devil away
You see in these times we all need to pray
Ask Father God to guide us along the narrow way
Incline Thine ears to our prayer, oh Lord
Let us live in love and not war, no war
For years and years we have lived in fear
Teach us to love and care
Father God, help me take a look inna di city of Kingston
There is more gun than peace and love
Inna di ghetto di youth dem nuh have no fun
'Cause if you mash a man corn you get shot down
Incline Thine ears to our prayer, oh Lord
Let us live in love and not war, no war
For years and years we have lived in fear
Teach us to love and care
Father God, government take your land and then run wire fence
Poor people can't afford title nor rent
Mi sisters are crying and mi brothers dem a dead
I believe your world is coming to an end
Incline Thine ears to our prayer, oh Lord
Let us live in love and not war, no war
For years and years we have lived in fear
Teach us to love and care
Again robbers and thieves make we can't go to sleep
We have fi lock one eye and have the other one a peep
So much things taking place I just cannot believe
Why Donna Van gone lay down with Steve
Incline Thine ears to our prayer, oh Lord
Let us live in love and not war, no war
For years and years we have lived in fear
Teach us to love and care
The next verse poverty and pain your world is not the same
Man a use the cocaine a pile up dem brains
I'm confused dear Lord I just can't understand
What's going on with these Babylonian
Incline Thine ears to our prayer, oh Lord
Let us live in love and not war, no war
For years and years we have lived in fear
Teach us to love and care
Father God me a beg you please
Make gun shots cease
I'm a sinner dear Lord but in you I believe
Only you alone can put our mind at ease
Please, please I'm down on my knees
Incline Thine ears to our prayer, oh Lord
Let us live in love and not war, no war
For years and years we have lived in fear
Teach us to love and care
Father God, only you alone know the situation
Right yah now brothers dem a kill off one another
Sisters are fighting sisters
You see the youth dem nah give no respect to the elder
So right yah now, from me to you, this is my prayer
And me know the world haffi follow, see it yah
Incline Thine ears to our prayer, oh Lord
Let us live in love and not war, no war
For years and years we have lived in fear
Teach us to love and care
