Burning Spear - 2000 Years

It's more than 2000 years
Since I come here
And all I can say is

Why o why, o why?
Why o why, o why?

Why o why, o why?
Why o why, o why?
Yeah!

Hear dem say
Why o why, o why?
Why o why, o why?

Using my brothers and my sisters
I wonder why
They're using my brothers and my sisters
I wonder why

Hear dem say
Why o why, o why?
Why o why, o why?

Hear dem
Why o why, o why?
Why o why, o why?

He was helping Jah Jah
Why o why, o why?
Why o why, o why?

(..)

Don't feel so sad, so son
Feel like say hello
But if I should
They woulda beat I down

All I can say is
All I can say

Why o why, o why?
Why o why, o why?
Jah Jah!

Why o why, o why?
Why o why, o why?

Give us an helping hand
Why o why, o why?
Why o why, o why?
