More than two thousand years
Since I come here
It′s more than two thousand years
Since I come here

And all I can say is
Why, o why, o why?
Why, o why, o why?
Oh my, oh yes, oh yes, uh


Why, o why, o why? (Jah-Jah)
Why, o why, o why? (What a shame)
Do what you can, what you can
For I and I, I

Why, o why, o why?
Why, o why, o why? Oh
Oh Jah, oh Garvey, uh

Using my brothers (why, why, why, tell me why?)
Brothers and sisters (why, why, why, tell me why?)
You using my brothers, brothers (why, why, why, tell me why?)
Brothers and sisters, you can hear I ah say

Why, o why, o why?
Why, o why, o why? (Oh my)
Do what you can, what you can
For I and I and I and I and I

Why, o why, o why? (Help us Jah-Jah)
Why, o why, o why? (Do what you can)
Do what you can, what you can
For I and I and I and I and I

Why, o why, o why? (Oh, Jah-Jah)

Oh-my, oh-my, hm, let me hear


Why, o why, o why? (More than two)
Why, o why, o why? (Thousand years, yes)
Since I and I come here
Oh-my, oh-my

Why, o why, o why? (Feel so sad)
Why, o why, o why? (Feel like say)
Hello, hello, hello
But if I should I know

Why, o why, o why? (They woulda beat I down)
Why, o why, o why? (Beat I down, down)
