Yow Terrylilly
Wha yah see Michael Russell?
Sometimes in life we never get back what we give, you know?
Why we can't get back what we put in?
A life, but we still deh, you know?
There's no one to give assistance
Just when you need it most
They say, they need it just the same
Stretching out their hands to you
Even when you're down (And you're about to hit the ground)
No one to stand by you in your time of crisis
Though you've been there for them throughout the years
They look the other way, that's enough to say
You should stand your ground, mmm
In this rugged situation
You've got to make preparation
That when your life is back on track
You will know just how to act
Many took our kindness for weakness
And their worries and joy and sweetness
Leave us to drown in sorrow
But victory will come tomorrow
Oh, tomorrow
I don't know what's really happening
What's up with some people
They cry like little babies
For you to believe in their stories
Then when it's time to return the favour
Quickly they say nothing's going on
The way they speak about your depression
As if it is a crime
Nothing good, everything bad, from time to time
They turn around and look away
That's enough to say, oh, take care, bye-bye
Many took our kindness for weakness
And their worries and joy and sweetness
Leave you to drown in sorrow
But victory will come tomorrow
Oh, victory will come tomorrow
Oh, victory will come tomorrow
In this rugged situation (Yeah)
You've got to make preparation
That when your life is back on track
You will know just how to act
They look the other way, that's enough to say
You should stand your ground, mmm
They look the other way, you should stand your ground
You should stand your ground
Man's heart is so unjust
You don't know who to trust
Listen
In this rugged situation
You've got to make preparation
That when your life is back on track
You will know just how to act
Oh yeah, you hear me now
They leave us to drown in sorrow
But victory will come tomorrow
Michael Russell (Yes, my brother)

Oh, Terrylilly, keep on doing good, brother
Oh, keep doing good, my brother
