Each times I think of the book of History
Tears fall from my eyes, yeah
Tears fall from my eyes

When I look into the tribulation
That my poor people were undergoing
Tears fall from my eyes
Tears fall from my eyes

Only the merciness of Jah
That keep us alive on creation, yeah-ah
Until now, yeah

Yeah-ah

Africans, open your eyes now
The Philistine is still around
You can't go to sleep now
You can't go to sleep now

Each times I think of the book of History
Tears fall from my eyes, yeah
Tears fall from my eyes

When I look into the situation
That my people were undergoing
Tears fall from my eyes

They were forced to work in the field
All day without any pay

Tears fall from my eyes, yeah

Yeah-ah
