Jah-Jah!
The children crying in the wilderness, that's right
Jah-Jah!
The children crying in the wilderness
Send us a prophet, to warn the nation
All the children in this creation
All the people that you see
Will be the children of the Most High
Jah-Jah!
All the people that you see
Will be the children of the Most High
Jah Rastafari! And I. Jah Rastafari!
Jah-Jah-Jah!
Send us another Moses, to lead the nation
The hungry must be fed, so there'll be no more sufferation
All the people that you see
Will be the children of the Most High
Jah-Jah!
All the people that you see
Will be the children of the Most High
Jah-Jah!
The children crying in the wilderness
Jah-Jah!
The children crying in the wilderness
Jah-Jah!
Send us another Moses, to lead the nation
The hungry must be fed, so there'll be no more sufferation
All the people that you see
Will be the children of the Most High
Jah-Jah!
The children crying in the wilderness
Jah-Jah!
The children crying in the wilderness
