Motherless Child

I'm so tired of seeing
My poor brother being
Living in poverty

Motherless children in the street
Searching to find a bite to eat
I've seen-a, motherless children in the street, yeah
No clothes on their back, no shoe on their feet
No clothes on their back, no shoe on their feet
Yet they search Jah Lord continually
And the righteousness shall flow among them abundantly

So, protect them
Select them
Defend them, yeah
While the heathen attack them

Motherless children, yeah, they shall turn to Jah
Meekly wait an' murmur not
Jah Jah love means a lot

Defend them, yeah
Protect them
Select them
While they attack them

Motherless children in the street (Day by day)
Searching to find a bite to eat
I've seen motherless children in the street, yeah
No clothes on their back, no shoe on their feet (Yeah)
No clothes on their back, no shoe on their feet (Yeah)

So, protect them
Select them
Defend them (Oh, yeah)

Motherless children, yeah, they shall turn to Jah
Meekly wait an' murmur not
Jah Jah love means a lot
Meekly wait an' murmur not
Jah Jah love means a lot
In all cases, Jah love means a lot
Jah love means a lot

Going out an' coming in
Protect us from our sin
Meekly wait an' murmur not (Children)
Jah Jah love means a lot
Protect them (In all cases)
Children, happiness will come again
Children, again an' again
Cry no more (Children)
Meekly wait an' murmur not
Jah Jah love means a lot
