Rescue Jah Children

[Intro]
Stop the war in Rhodesia (Rhodesia)
Stop the war in Mozambique

[Verse 1]
When you take up your daily paper
All you read, Mister Editor
What's going on, on the land?
What a bunch of confusion
Confusion here, confusion there
You have the all men despair
You have the all men despair

[Chorus]
Somebody, got to rescue Jah children
Somebody, got to give an helping hand

[Verse 2]
Black against black every day
Too much wolves are in the pack (Are they?)
Got to give an helping hand
Black against black every day
Too much wolves arе in the pack
Lord, it's a dirty, dirty shame
The poor pеople of the ghettos
They really can't do no better
The man of high society
Sits at home sipping his coffee

[Chorus]
Got to rescue Jah children
Somebody, got to rescue Jah children
Somebody, got to give an helping hand

[Verse 3]
Little children going to school
Nobody to set the golden rule
Somebody got to set an example for the children to follow
Because, don't you know
Yes, you should know
They're the people of tomorrow
And it's true, true

[Chorus]
Somebody, got to rescue Jah children
Somebody, got to give an helping hand

[Bridge]
[Scatting]

[Chorus]
Somebody, got to rescue Jah children
Somebody, got to give an helping hand
Somebody, got to rescue Jah children (Somebody)

[Bridge]
The cause of living is wise in heart
And only the strong will survive (Somebody)
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher

[Outro]
Somebody, got to rescue Jah children
Somebody, got to give an helping hand now
Somebody, got to rescue Jah children
