Woy! Desperation has return
|
Sodom and Gomorrah no deh yah so!
|
Woy desperation has return over yonder
|
Sodom and Gomorrah no deh yah so!
|
|
Wild one, you are like the Prodigal Son yeah
|
And if you're the Prodigal Son, my friend
|
Then you're the one, you
|
Left taking your only possession
|
Your culture
|
To enter a world known for hacklings
|
In abundance, yeah
|
The hustlers of life
|
Have hooked and drained you from the man
|
Form the man that you used to be, turn your back on us
|
Return Rastaman where you came from
|
The land of your forefathers
|
|
Reaching the gates with your two long hands
|
Searching out for clean water
|
Wild one...
|
|
Prodigal come forth and rejoice with your voice
|
To the heavens
|
Chant some song, chant some song
|
Prodigal come forth and repent
|
Rastafari sins forgiven
|
|
Woy! Desperation has return...
|
|
One has returned without one's soul
|
And has squandered all his possessions
|
Let us cleanse your body now
|
From your service to the swine, because
|
You've been dead and now to anoint your head
|
With wisdom, knowledge and overstanding
|
A lesson has been taught unto you my friend
|
Time for a feast and rejoicing
|
|
Wild one...
|
Chorus
|
Woy! Desperation has return
|
Prodigal has returned to his culture
|
Prodigal has returned give him water
|
Prodigal has returned, has returned...
