[Intro]
[Chorus]
The rich man, poor man, beggar man thief
Everyone claim that dem are the chief
The rich man buy, the poor man s life
The poor man take away the beggar man s wife
Don t cry.. my brothers
Don t cry.. my sisters
These tears won t change the situation
It s just a form, a form of reaction
[Verse 1]
If you step on fire, fire burn you
If you play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth
So stand up strong, you got to know where you belong
Say the weak ones now, will soon become strong
[Hook]
Hey! Everything will soon be okay
As soon as the war is over
Jah children will be free to come over
Singing and dancing, ready to take over
Have some faith.. have a little faith
[Intrumental]
[Hook]
Hey! Everything will soon be okay
As soon as the war is over

Singing and dancing, ready to take over
Have some faith.. have a little faith
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Tell you if you step on fire, fire burn you
You play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth
So stand up strong, you got to know where you belong
Say the weak ones now, will soon become strong
Don t cry, don t cry

These tears won t change the situation

Tell you if you step on fire, fire burn you
Play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth
Stand up strong, you got to know where you belong
Say the weak ones now, will soon become strong
