Lyrics Time Come (Elders) - Groundation, The Congos

Time Come (Elders)

You no baby boy
Open the book and raise your voice
While the sun shining
And the children smiling
A mellow lark is singing
Just like a bird them dreaming
While all the Rastaman warning
Ascending up in the mountain
For all to see, for all to see
All those lonely nights spent wondering
All those days and nights spent wondering
To join with them in song would be OUR destiny
I am not the only one
You a go learn from them
Yes you learn from them
You must learn from them
Yeah just a learn from them
Truth we shall defend onto the end
Truth we shall defend onto the very end
Your word will one day falter in this time of judgement day
Your word will one day falter in the end
When the time come you never see
When the time come you’ll never know, oh Jah glory and Jah mercy
Man I’m grateful and thankful for
All of the fathers who have come before
When we try to teach you the plan you walk away
Sign of the devil for you have gone astray
You’ll have to run, you’ll have to see
You’ll have to travel from sea to shining sea
Underneath the sun them come
Like the children of Israel through Sinai rock
Underneath the sun them come
Like the children of Israel to Zion Land
For all walkin' talkin' your self savior
All you children under the slave driver
We a go march for you !
All good people out there you don’t know
How much we love ans miss and need you so
But IF we should by way of the setting sun
We will one day fall down
One day fall down
Truth we shall defend onto the end
Truth you shall defend onto the very end
Your word will one day falter in this time of judgement day
Your word will one day falter in the end
When the time come you’ll never know (no, no, no)
