Out of Ireland I have come
|
Great hatred and little room
|
Maimed us at the start
|
And now home just breaks my heart
|
To America I have come
|
I hope to bring your preachermen
|
Home to show my people how they can
|
Get their names back in the book of life of the lamb
|
|
I know that I have done many things
|
To give you reason not to listen to me
|
Esspecially as I have been so angry
|
But if you'd knew me maybe you would understand me
|
Words can't express how sorry I am
|
If I ever caused pain to anybody
|
I just hope that you can show compassion
|
And love me enough to just please listen
|
|
Out of Ireland I did run
|
Great hatred and little room
|
Aimed to break my heart
|
Or wreck me up and tear me all apart
|
To America I have come
|
I need to find a good preacherman
|
Who can show me how I can
|
Get my name back in the book of life of the lamb
|
|
I bring these blessings with me
|
A strong heart full of hope and a feeling
|
That everything in this world would be okay
|
If people just believed enough in God to pray
|
But the world thinks that sounds crazy
|
And that's the thing that makes me sing so sadly
|
To think that we would leave God so lonely
|
To think that we would mess up our own destiny
|
|
Out of history we have come
|
With great hatred and little room
|
It aimes to break our hearts
|
Or wrecks us up and tear us all apart
|
But if we listen to the preacherman
|
He can show us how it can be done
|
To live in peace and live as one
|
Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb
|
|
Out of hopelessness we can come
|
If people just believe it can be done
|
'cause every prayer ever prayed is heard
|
take power in the power of the word
|
|
Out of history we have come
|
With great hatred and little room
|
It aimes to break our hearts
|
Or wrecks us up and tear us all apart
|
But if we listen to the Rasta man
|
He can show us how it can be done
|
To live in peace and live as one
|
Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb
|
|
Out of history we have come
|
With great hatred and little room
|
It aimes to break our hearts
|
Or smash us up and tear us all apart
|
But if we listen to the Rasta woman
|
She can show us how it can be done
|
To live in peace and live as one
|
Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb
|
