Jah would never give power to a baldhead
Jah would never give power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread
Run come crucify the dread
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Back them up, oh, not the brothers
Back them up, oh, not the brothers
But the ones, who set them up
But the ones, who set them up
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Oh, children weep no more
Oh, children weep no more
Oh, my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree
Oh, my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree
Saw you settle the score
Saw you settle the score
Oh, children weep no more
Oh, children weep no more
Weep no more, children weep no more
Weep no more, children weep no more
Jah jamais permitirá que as mãos do terror
Jah will never allow the hands of terror
Venham sufocar o amor
To come smothering love
Somente o tempo, o tempo só
Only time, just time
Dirá se irei luz ou permanecerei pó
Will tell if I'll shine or remain dust
Se encontrarei Deus ou permanecerei só
If I'll find God or remain alone
Se ainda hei de abraçar minha vó
If I still shall embrace my grandma
Somente o tempo, o tempo só
Only time, just time
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Somente o tempo, o tempo só
Only time, just time
Time alone, oh, time will tell
Time alone, oh, time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
