My heart cries out to see how the youths them struggling,
In a land that was made so free, for you and me,
For you and me, for you and me.
The greed of some have become so high,
Causing so many to die.
While others though they find it so hard,
They're still making a try, you can see it every day.

You rise early in the morning, to find the same old thing,
Then you start to image,
What the rest of the day may bring to you, may bring to you.
So you make a trod about and return without a thing,
And them kind of something,
Make you really have to think, it make you really have to think.
For when you turn to the right,
Things doesn't seem so bright, then you turn to the left,
Temptation lead you to a theft, so you look up in the sky,
You hold your head and wonder why,
Then you look down on the ground,
Give thanks you're still around.
Give Jah thanks to know you're still around.

So how then in a land where there's plenty,
So many people still remain hungry,
They have it so hard, o, man it ain't easy,
They have it so hard.
Some of them turn to robbery, woooo..
My heart cries out,
To see how the youths them struggling, struggling.
In a land that was made so free for you and me,
For you and me, o why won't you be?
Let them, let them go, let them loose,
They need to be free.
Don't you try to slow them down oh,
Let them go, let them go, let them loose..
