Jah Jah
The youths are starving
Jah Jah
They fussing and fighting
Killing there one another
And they are all one sister and brother

Youths, you better change your ways
It's time you all must know yourself
You better try think about some life
'Cause everyday cost of living getting high
Try and be a man of tomorrow
And try and show your parents what you can do

Jah Jah
Please have some mercy
Jah Jah
You better show them the way
Jah Jah
Please have some mercy
Jah Jah
You gotta show them the way

You better try think about some life
'Cause everyday cost of living getting high
Try and be a man of tomorrow
And try and show your parents what you can do

Try, try
Show your parents what you can do
Oh try, try my brother
Oh try, try my sister
