INTRO
One set of footprints inna di sand
And you a grumble and a screw
A sey it shoulda be two
Remember one thing mi yute
A Father God have the plan
So when you see one set of footprints
God a carry you
VERSE
Hurry up and come back
Was the last thing she said to her son
The day his life was taken
She didn't know he wouldn't come back
He died from the bullet of a gun
And now her little boy is gone
CHORUS INTRO
She said
HELP ME
Lord HELP ME
And she looked up to the sky
And she heard a voice reply
CHORUS:
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
(repeat)
VERSE
Another baby left homeless
Abandoned when he was two
So the street side kids at the shopping mall
Was the family he knew
It's not easy being homeless
Sometimes you have to do what you have to do
And he didn't have a mom or dad
To help him get threw
CHORUS INTRO
He said
HELP ME
FATHER HELP ME
And he looked up to the sky
And he heard a voice reply
CHORUS:
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
(repeat)
VERSE
It was early Sunday morning
Mi get up and watch the news
Mi hear she Friday inna Seaview dem kill a yute
Then mamma tell me seh her church sister Jaquline
Just loose her brother over Seaview Gardens
When she tell me
Jah Jah know it mash mi up
Naah go tell no lie
But you know man a thuggy
So you naw go see me cry
Everyday and everynight she still ask the Father
Why her brother had to die
She heard a voice reply
