Duane Stephenson - To The Lord

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, whoa oh
It's been a long time coming
Hey... ooh, ooh, ooh, oh...

The people a bawl, say it hard
Things get hard, things get hard
Home and abroad, ends nah meet again
Dollars have no friends 'pon the ends
Church people a bawl to the Lord
Things get hard, things get hard
Most dire of circumstance
Oh, we're calling, but there's no response

Dem say depression is a state of mind
We're trying to get over, but the Things ain't fine
We're rising up early, in the morning time
Yet no man no waan wait in line
Inna the city it not pretty, the leaders get witty
Some 'fraid so dem sound the alarm
Beg the youths dem fi go, hey
We need food, but a fool dem a farm

The people a bawl, say it hard
Things get hard, things get hard
Home and abroad, ends nah meet again
Dollars have no friends 'pon the ends
Church people a bawl to the Lord
Things get hard, things get hard
Most dire of circumstance
Oh, we're calling, but there's no response

In dem minds dem think dem safe
From the system dem put in place
A try fi treat the underprivileged like a slave
So again I stop misbehave
Uptown will be burning down
Downtown man a sleep on the ground
Siren a ring out, tell the people a shout
We need the justice, dem bawling out

The people a bawl, say it hard
Things get hard, things get hard
Home and abroad, ends nah meet again
Dollars have no friends 'pon the ends
Church people a bawl to the Lord
Things get hard, things get hard
Most dire of circumstance
Oh, we're calling, but there's no response

Money run out, things rough out a road
Can't find no food, things tough out a road
Is a work man a weapon?
Some have their gun, is like the devil inna dem right hand
But I no want to hear another excuse
Don't want fi see another thing on the news
Time to change up your volume
Mislead the people, then you talk 'bout you're sorry

The people a bawl, say it hard
Things get hard, things get hard
Home and abroad, ends nah meet again
Dollars have no friends 'pon the ends
Church people a bawl to the Lord
Things get hard, things get hard
Most dire of circumstance
Oh, we're calling, but there's no response

The people a bawl, say it hard
Things get hard, things get hard
Home and abroad, ends nah meet again
Dollars have no friends 'pon the ends
Church people a bawl to the Lord
Things get hard, things get hard
Most dire of circumstance
Oh, we're calling, but there's no response

The people... dem things we crying out, crying out
Save the people, save the people...
