Tell dem
I'm out there, I'm out there
I beg you tell dem
Tell dem, oh no, oh no
Tell dem
If you see me
Out there sitting out at Zion's gate
I'm waiting for Selassie I to come deliberate
All these people from the struggle that they have to face
I raise my hands to the Father
If you see me
Somewhere sitting looking out in space
It's just the pressures in my life that I just have to face
Can't afford a rent, the food, the light, the water rate
I raise my hands to the Father
I was born poor
I never lived life as a wealthy man
Everything me get keep moving from hand to hand
Some ah just ah pressure yeah, me really cannot understand
Why the government ah treat the people so
So we hustle hard and we pray to see a brighter day
Because right now all that we have is just these rainy days
And I keep the faith
And that's why you see me sitting at Zion's gate, yeah
If you see me
Out there sitting out at Zion's gate
I'm waiting for Selassie I to come deliberate
All these people from the struggle that they have to face
I raise my hands to the Father
If you see me
Somewhere sitting looking out in space
It's just the pressures in my life that I just have to face
Can't afford a rent, the food, the light, the water rate
I raise my hands to the Father
You said If I seek I'll find
So up this ladder I'll climb
To pray for those families who need help and can't find
What's going on with mankind?
It seems like they've gone blind
Because we need help and yet still they close their eyes
So tell dem
If you see me
Out there sitting out at Zion's gate
I'm waiting for Selassie I to come deliberate
All these people from the struggle that they have to face
I raise my hands to the Father
If you see me
Somewhere sitting looking out in space
It's just the pressures in my life that I just have to face
Can't afford a rent, the food, the light, the water rate
I raise my hands to the Father
Raise my hands to the sky
Wondering why, why we have to suffer this way
I feel the pain, I feel the pain
I feel the pain, yeah (yeah)
