(Tribe) goes up,
all the tribe goes down
Bring my children
from the end of the earth

Many a time I sit and wonder why
This race so - so very hard to run
Then I say to my soul: take courage
Battle to be won
Like a ship that's tossed and driven
Battered by the angry sea, yea-eah!
Say the tide of time was raging
Don't let the fury fall on me, no, no!

(I) Cause I know (know) -know
Jah will be waiting there
(I) Ain't it good to know (know) now
Jah will be waiting there. Wo-oo-o-oo-o! Ooh, yeah!
Lost and found, who speak I give
Lost and found, who speak I give
Speak I give, lost and found
Lost and found, who speak I give
Lost and found, who speak I give
