Jah Mercy Songtext
von Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars

Jah mercy
Jah mercy
Jah mercy
Jah mercy

I just wanna know why you fighting for
I just wanna know why you fighting for
For power they have killed all them useful men
For power they have destroyed all them useful places

You fit blow
You fit blow
Just a blow to fight
You fit blow

Just a blow to fight
You fit blow


Sit up straight if you′re leaning
Stop up to snore if you're sleeping
This ya a bull to me native land Africa!
Rich men them care for them properties
Poor men them care for them lives and children
Oh yes! We bless the protection of Jah Almighty
Which only kept us alive
Which only kept us alive
Oh yes! We bless the protection of Jah Almighty
Which only kept us alive
Which only kept us alive

Jah mercy
Jah mercy
Jah mercy
Jah mercy

Sit up straight if you′re leaning
Stop up to snore if you're sleeping
This ya a bull to me native Land (Africa!)
Rich men them care for them properties
Poor men them care for them lives and children
Oh yes! We bless the protection of Jah Almighty
Which only kept us alive
Which only kept us alive
Oh yes! We bless the protection of Jah Almighty
Which only kept us alive
Which only kept us alive

Jah mercy
Jah mercy
Jah mercy
Jah mercy


That is wha', we asking for
That is wha′, we asking for Jah!
