10. Father
|
I was just a baby in my mother's womb
My father didn't want me no no no, no bastard son
So he left my mother to raise his child all alone
No one to dry her tears. No one to dry her tears.
So she found a needle to ease her broken heart
And I would come home to find her strung out in the dark
So don't you tell me that I don't know sorrow
I have begged for my bread and I have walked the streets of the ghetto
(chorus)
Jah Jah is the only father I have ever known
In times of trouble he comforts my weary soul
Jah Jah is the only father I have ever known
Some day I shall walk through the gates of Mount Zion
Some day I shall walk through the gates of Mount Zion
So work hard for your childrens tomorrow
Not for treasures upon the earth but of the soul
That they may look back upon their lifetimes
And say my life was a good one
Oh my life...it was a good one
(chorus)
Jah Jah is the only father I have ever known
In times of trouble he comforts my weary soul
Jah Jah is the only father I have ever known
Some day I shall walk through the gates of Mount Zion
Some day I shall walk through the gates of Mount Zion
Some day I shall walk through the gates of Mount Zion
Some day I shall walk through the gates of Mount Zion
