Sizzla - Black Woman Child

Oh, What A Joy

Yesterday was a war, yeah
Today we throw dung we arms
Yesterday lots of sorrows
Today we want joy
Ye who are still cryin'
I beg you dry your weeping eyes
'Cause tomorrow we don't want no sorrow

Yesterday we were hungry
Today we belly full throw dung we arms (oh war)
Yesterday we were naked
Today we have clothing
Ye who are still hungry
I beg you have a little patien'
'Cause tomorrow there will be no sorrow

Oh, what a joy when we have love in our hearts
Oh, what a joy we should have love from the start

Try not to be ignorant or be a slave to your temper
Try not to be ignorant and be moderate in your behaviour , yeah (2x)

Oh, what a joy when we have love in our hearts
Oh, what a joy we should have love from the start

Yesterday was a war, yeah
Today we throw dung we arms
Yesterday lots of sorrows
Today we want joy
Ye who are still cryin'
I beg you dry your weeping eyes
'Cause tomorrow we don't want no sorrow

Oh, what a joy when we have love in our hearts
Oh, what a joy we should have love from the start (4x)
