Wish it never had to be
The way I see
This world running, shouldn't have to be
'Cause now every man's cup is filled with hate and overflowing
Father, ah nuff things ah gwan round 'ya
It wickeder than before
We really check seh we coulda run things
But it nuh look so anymore, no

Come down Father, come down
Come down Father, come down
Oh I beg you come down Father
Come down, yeah ay
Come down Father, beg you come down

In my heart I know that you won't let
Your chosen people suffer (too long)
I know you will never let us down, no, no no no

Many times I coulda pick up a gun
I coulda go out a street and play Big John
That's no fun no, sure ain't no fun, oh no, 'cause I think
What would happen if the other man
Thinks the same? Then bullets fall like rain
It's no fun no, no it's no fun

Oh I see greed and I see selfishness
Every man is for himself
Only you can talk to them Father
'Cause they listen to no one else, no

Come down Father, come down
I beg you come down Father, come down

Oh to the hearts of those responsible
Let them know their actions are despicable
Remind them that is you who wears the crown

Come down Father, come down, yes
I beg you come down Father, come down
Oh come down Father, come down, yes
Come down Father, come down

Watching the time, how the people are moving
And 'membering to myself

Oh, unto the ones who think you can do these wrongs and get away
Woe unto you, and watch out for your day

I wish it never had to be
the way I see, this world running
Shouldn't have to be
'cause now everyone's cup is full with hate and overflowing
Father, ah nuff things ah gwan round 'ya
It wickeder than before
We really check seh we coulda run things
But it nuh look so anymore, no

Come down Father, come down
Come down Father, come down
Father, come down Father, come down, yes
Come down Father, come down

Come down Father, come down
Come down Father, come down
