Lamentation

(eric benét/ali shaheed muhammad/chalmers alford)

I saw my brother
He did me wrong
He put a gun up to my face
My moneys gone

I said please dont be that way
Im just trying to make it through the day
He said you better not come round
Me before too long

Chorus:

Whoa ooh
Love is crying (whoa oh)
Love is dying (whoa oh)
Love is crying (whoa oh)

Omm

I saw my sister, she did me wrong
I had a smile up on my face
But hers were so cold
I said sister please dont go
Im just trying to say hello
She said you better not come round me
Before too long and I said

Chorus

Can you hear the cries from heaven up above
Looking down upon this world of dying love
Open up your heart hurry dont delay
Before the chance to save
The world is gone away

I asked my father, lord whats wrong
Thru his tears I heard him say
Child be strong

cause the world Im trying to save
Done turned me away
But they better come round
My way before too long

Chorus
