Liberia (Yaniko Roots Riddim)

chuck fender:
blessed mama africa
zoe and chuck fender
liberia

zoe:
see the fire and see the pain
i dont know where hope has gone
in the eyes of a child
i dont know where hope has gone
when an eight years old has a gun in his hand
burnin and loot cause his parents are dead

chuck fender:
this is burning inside like a pain
to see so many life down the drain
this world is really getting really insane
the most high love i see they want to restray

zoe:
see the hate and see the crime
i dont know where love has gone
politicians play an evil game
i dont know where love has gone
when soldiers come and rape a child
and no mothers there to comfort the cryin

chuck fender:
they dont know
let them know
zoe

zoe:
see injustice and see the fightin
i dont know where God has gone
we need him here to help us try
i dont know where God has gone
its brother against brother in civil war
were down on our knees we cant make it without God

chuck fender:
they dont know
so i got to let them know
righteousness s the way to go
the lion a no simple, the lion a no light
the lion will appear in the hours of the night
a burn the sufferation, a get rid of the fight
the unification babylon no like
the sensless killing, this global fight
but only rasta love can make the people unite
so free my people from the bondage and the stray
its a terrible situation, its a shame
so many guns i see going down the lane
who is gonna pay the price, who is to blame

zoe:
thats the land where my soul is from
in my heart i can still feel the sound of the drum
elegant boys and beautiful girls
dancin for joy in their derelict worlds
when i read in the news about the place i was born
i cry bitter tears cause liberia has gone

chuck fender:
this is burning inside like a pain
to see so many life down the drain
this world is really getting really insane
the most high love i see they want to restray
let them know
zoe
