Sons of Slaves (12" version) - Junior Delgado

Lyrics by：Junior Delgado

Composed by：Frederick Hibbert

Children of Israel

This is the time we must come together

Time is night

Live in unity

Are we not the sons of slaves

Yes we are I said yes we are

Are we not the son of slaves yeah

Are we not the children that run away from plantations

Yes we are I said yes we are

Are we not the children of Israel

They took us away from Africa land

Brought us down here in Babylon

Now we all like a roaring lion

Jah high

Jah high yeah

Are we not the sons of slaves

Help me now now

Yes we are

Are we not the children that run away from plantations

Are we not gonna get no freedom

Help me now now

How long will it take you

To give us just a little justice

Took us away on a rocking ship

And that would be heavy ginnal ship

All we could feel was the rocking whip

Jah high

Jah high yes

Are we not the sons of slaves

Yes we are I said yes we are

Are we not the children of Israel

Yes we are I said yes we are

They took us away from Africa land

Brought us down here in Babylon

Now we all like a roaring lion

Jah high

Jah high yeah

Mister big man

How long will it take you to give us justice

Are we not the sons of slaves

Yeah

Are we not the children of Israel

Help me now now

How long how long how long will it take you

Take you
