Help Us Get Over

Jah Jah please help us to get over
This life we live in misery
All that I see along my journey, each day
My people are brand with poverty
So many of them out there starving
Searching to find a bite to eat
So many of them without shelter, yeah, yeah
And some nuh get shoe upon their feet
So tell us how long will it take to get over
This life we live in misery
'Cause all that we see along the journey
My people are brand with poverty, yeah
Come on, come on help us get over
This life we live in misery, Lord
'Cause all that I see along my journey
My poor people are brand with poverty
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, Jah Jah
Come on and help us get over
'Cause all that we face every day, yeah
Is work hard and still get no pay
Over and over and over
Over and over again
Over and over and over
The same thing just happens
