Keep on Tryin' Songtext
von Uwe Banton

Keep on trying, oh, my brother
Trying, oh, my sister
Keep on trying, woah
And don′t you ever give up the fight
Keep on trying, woah

How much I long to see that day to come
With equal rights and justice stand for everyone
(Equal rights and justice)
Seems my people have been down much too long
Tell myself, "Wait, the battle's just begun"
There′s a time and a place since we inna this here struggle
Trodde on creation, we no come yah suh fi sekkle
Stand up for our rights, dem seh we lookin' for some trouble
Help to free your minds from mental chains and shackles


Keep on trying
And don't you ever give up the fight
For too much innocent are dying
Tell me who′s gonna fight for their rights
Hungry mothers and children are crying
Cry by day and cry by night
But dry your tears and stop your sighing
′Cause where there is hope, there surely some light

No use you sit down and complain each day
For Jah is here to show you and me the way (Each and every I-yah)
And don't you care of what the weakheart say
We′ll keep on praising Jah come a downward may
Now if you fuss and a fight, you will give the devil power
And what first hit you in the end turn sour
Give Jah the glory every minute, every hour
While the deceiver is seeking more souls to devour

Keep on trying
And don't you ever give up the fight
For too much innocent are dying
Tell me who′s gonna fight for their rights
Hungry mothers and children are crying
Cry by day and cry by night
But dry your tears and stop your sighing
'Cause where there is hope, there surely some light


United we stand and divided we fall
We got to know ourselves before our back is against the wall
All for one and we sing one for all
Unity is strength, the only way to stand tall
Now if you fuss and a fight, you will give the devil power
And what first hit you in the end turn sour
Give Jah the glory every minute, every hour
While the deceiver is seeking more souls to devour

Keep on trying
And don′t you ever give up the fight

For too much innocent are dying
Tell me who's gonna fight for their rights
Hungry mothers and children are crying
Cry by day and cry by night
But dry your tears and stop your sighing
'Cause where there is hope, there surely some light

Keep on trying
And don′t you ever give up the fight

For too much innocent are dying
Tell me who′s gonna fight for their rights
Hungry mothers and children are crying
Cry by day and cry by night
But dry your tears and stop your sighing
'Cause where there is hope, there surely some light

Keep on trying
And don′t you ever give up the fight

For too much innocent are dying
Tell me who's gonna fight for their rights
Hungry mothers and children are crying
Cry by day and cry by night
But dry your tears and stop your sighing
′Cause where there is hope, there surely some light

Keep on trying
