[Intro] (Heavy bass enters first, followed by a crisp rimshot) (Mellow horns: Pa-pa-pa-da...) Jah-Jah children, dry your eyes. The sun is rising over the hilltop. Yes, Rasta. [Verse 1] Concrete jungle can be cold and gray The system tries to take your hope away You’re working for the bread, from dawn 'til night While the wicked man is hiding from the light But I see the tears falling down your face Like a river running through this lonely place. [Chorus] Don’t cry, no my brother, don’t cry The morning star is shining in the sky Don’t cry, no my sister, don’t cry Jah shall wipe the tears from every eye Keep your head up high. [Verse 2] I know the burden feels like a heavy stone In this Babylon, you feel you’re all alone But the roots are deep, even when the wind blows strong Righteousness will lead you where you belong The lions don't bow to the hunter's snare Just lift up your voice, Jah hears your prayer. [Bridge] (Dub section: heavy echo on the snare) Echo: (Don’t cry... cry... cry...) Truth and rights! Fire burning inna your soul. Love is the only way to take control. Redemption song is playing on the breeze. [Guitar Solo] (Clean tone, bluesy reggae licks with a bit of wah-wah) [Chorus] Don’t cry, no my brother, don’t cry The morning star is shining in the sky Don’t cry, no my sister, don’t cry Jah shall wipe the tears from every eye. [Outro] No more weeping in the night Everything’s gonna be alright (Fade out with melodic horns and backing vocals) Dry your eyes... Mount Zion is calling... Don't cry...
