The Samaritan

Who am I to not see what they do to me How can I not say what I see each day The instruments of rebellion play Song with lyrics of wrongs that should not be Stand against the tall waves You they will not erase The water will fall over you But this is what we must do I see them suffering and I see them slain We don't help or raise our voice to complain Nations no more, homes knocked to the floors Fighting brother man to own him again Raise your voice and scream Or take the stage and sing Don't just walk by, do something The Samaritan stopped and changed everything Stand against the tall waves You they will not erase The water will fall over you But this is what we must do My government takes our civil rights away In the dead of the night, not in the light of day They knock down what stands in their way So we stay silent hoping to be okay But border man come and arrest the dreams They fought to come here where freedom should ring We make a wall for our neighbors, we don't let them in Are we dey enemy or are dey friends Go now to the waterfront Barefoot tell Jah what you want Go now protest in these streets Till on you dey call the police Raise your voice and scream Or take the stage and sing Don't just walk by, do something The Samaritan stopped and changed everything Stand tall (Stand against the waves) Don't worry (You they won't erase) Let the water (The water will fall over you) Be brave (This is what we must do) (Stand against the tall waves) STAND TALL (You they will not erase) DON'T WORRY, JAH SHALL NOT BE MOVED (The water will fall over you) LET IT POUR… LET IT POUR OVER YOU! (But this is what we must do) BE BRAVE, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS Whoa now... da da da-da-di, dadi dah dah This song... it still plays in my ears Lah dah... da da da-da-di, dadi dah dah Still rings, we sings, we won't disappear Whoa now ... Whoa now, WHOAH Now don't be moved Now let me tell you, let me say the truth They may silence me because that's what they do But I am planting seeds, and you plant them too Like bees with flowers spread it thru and thru Stand against the tall waves You they will not erase The water will fall over you But this is what we must do
