Keep On Tryin'

Keep on tryin', oh my brother

Tryin', oh my sister

Keep on tryin'

Ooh - ooh

Don't you ever give up the fight

Keep on tryin'

Ooh - ooh

How much I long to see that day to come

With equal rights and justice stand for everyone

Seems my people have been down much too long

Tell myself: "Wait! The battle's just begun!"

There's a time and a place since we're inna dis ya struggle

Troddin' on creation we no come ya so fi sekkle

Stand up for our rights, dem say we're looking for some trouble

Help to free your mind from mental chains and shackles

Chorus:

Keep on tryin' - don't you ever give up the fight

For too much innocent are dying - tell me who's gonna fight for their right

Hungry mothers and children are cryin' - cry by day and cry by night

But dry your tears and stop your sighing'cause where there's hope, there's surely some light

no use you sit down and complain each day

'cause JAH is here to show you and me the way

and don't you care what all the weakheart say

we'll keep on praisin' JAH come down what may

now if you fuss and a fight you will give the devil power

and what first sweet you in the end turn sour

give JAH the glory every minute, every hour

while the deceiver is seeking more souls to devour

Chorus

united we stand and divided we fall

we got to know ourselves before our back is against the wall

all for one, and we sing one for all

unity is strength, the only way to stand tall

now if you fuss and a fight you will give the devil power

and what first sweet you in the end turn sour

give JAH the glory every minute, every hour

while the deceiver is seeking more souls to devour

Chorus till end
