Lyrics Keep on Tryin' - Uwe Banton

Keep on tryin, oh my brother
Tryin, oh my sister
Keep on tryin
Ooh ooh

Don t you ever give up the fight
Keep on tryin
Ooh ooh

How much I long to see that day to come
With equal rights and justice stand for everyone
Seems my people have been down much too long
Tell myself: Wait! The battle s just begun!

There s a time and a place since we re inna dis ya struggle
Troddin on creation we no come ya so fi sekkle
Stand up for our rights, dem say we re looking for some trouble
Help to free your mind from mental chains and shackles

Chorus:
Keep on tryin don t you ever give up the fight
For too much innocent are dying tell me who s gonna fight for their right
Hungry mothers and children are cryin cry by day and cry by night
But dry your tears and stop your sighing cause where there s hope, there s surely some light

No use you sit down and complain each day
Cause JAH is here to show you and me the way
And don t you care what all the weakheart say
We ll keep on praisin JAH come down what may

Now if you fuss and a fight you will give the devil power
And what first sweet you in the end turn sour
Give JAH the glory every minute, every hour
While the deceiver is seeking more souls to devour

Chorus
United we stand and divided we fall
We got to know ourselves before our back is against the wall
All for one, and we sing one for all
Unity is strength, the only way to stand tall

Now if you fuss and a fight you will give the devil power
And what first sweet you in the end turn sour
Give JAH the glory every minute, every hour
While the deceiver is seeking more souls to devour
Chorus till end
