The Lamb's Book of Life |
Out of Ireland I have come |
Great hatred and little room |
Maimed us at the start |
And now home just breaks my heart |
To America I have come |
I hope to bring your preacher man |
Home to show my people how they can |
Get their names back in the book of life of the lamb |
I know that I’ve done many things |
To give you reason not to listen to me Especially as I have been so angry |
But if you knew me maybe you would understand me Words can’t express how sorry I am If I ever caused pain to anybody |
I just hope that you can show compassion |
And love me enough to just please listen |
Out of Ireland I did run |
Great hatred and little room |
Aimed to break my heart |
Wreck me up and tear me all apart |
To America I have come |
I need to find a good preacherman |
Who can show me how I can |
Get my name back in the book of life of the lamb |
I bring these blessings with me A strong heart full of hope and a feeling |
That everything in this world would be okay |
If people just believed enough in God to pray |
But the world thinks that sounds crazy |
And that’s the thing that makes me sing so sadly |
To think that we would leave God so lonely |
To think that we would mess up our own destiny |
Out of history we have come |
With great hatred and little room |
It aims to break our hearts |
Wreck us up and tear us all apart |
But if we listen to the preacher man |
He can show us how it can be done |
To live in peace and live as one |
Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb |
Out of hopelessness we can come |
If people just believe it can be done |
'Cause every prayer ever prayed is heard |
Take power in the power of the word |
Out of history we have come |
With great hatred and little room |
It aims to break our hearts |
Wreck us up and tear us all apart |
But if we listen to the Rasta man |
He can show us how it can be done |
To live in peace and live as one |
Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb |
Out of history we have come |
With great hatred and little room |
It aims to break our hearts |
Smash us up and tear us all apart |
But if we listen to the Rasta woman |
She can show us how it can be done |
To live in peace and live as one |
Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb |
