Bless Me

Oh Jah, hear I and I
Answer to our cry
Yeah, yeah

Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me so that they can't curse me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me so that they can't curse me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me

I'm in the midst of strangers, oh Lord
Strangers without love and mercy
Strangers without dignity
Strangers who don't want to live in harmony

Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me so that they can't curse me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me so that they can't curse me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me

Father, they have dug their pits
And are waiting to see me fall in it
Yes they've got great power
So without your help I know I'll suffer
Hear me while I call on you
And help me to conquer
Only you are fair
Be with me everywhere
They're trying to see me fall
But with you, Jah, I stand tall

Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me so that they can't curse me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me so that they can't curse me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me

Why should a man choose to live his life this way?
All you want to do is fuss and fight every day
Each day you get up, you fuss and quarrel, oh Lord
Dumping your brothers in deep waters and burials
Sisters informing on sisters
Sons murdering mothers
Fathers hate to see the very sight of their own children

Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me so that they can't curse me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
Bless me so that they can't curse me
Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me

Bless me, bless me
Mighty Jah Jah bless me
I'm in the midst of strangers, oh Lord
Strangers without love and mercy
