Eli, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani
Matthew 27:46
Righteousness will soon begin to flow among I and I
Amos 5:24
Just you wait and see, yeah
'Cause very soon man is going to realise
Best thing in life is when you are free
Free to walk among the Dread, free to walk among the soul
The police men and the army
Forget what colour you may be
And begin to check de blood and you will find out that
We all are one brothers, we all are one sisters
We all are one blood, so
Let's talk about love and forget, envity, whoo-oo
If Jah can forgive us, then why can't we forgive, one another?
Eli, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani
Eli, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani
Eli, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani
Eli, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani
We all are one brothers, we all are one sisters
We all are one blood, so
Let's talk about love and forget, envity, whoo-oo
If Jah can forgive us, then why can't we forgive, one another?
Righteousness will soon begin to flow among I and I
Just you wait and see, yeah
'Cause very soon man is going to realise
Best thing in life is when you are free
Free to walk among the Dread, free to walk among the soul
The police men and the army
Forget what colour you may be
And begin to check de blood and you will find out that
We all are one brothers, we all are one sisters
We all are one blood, so
Let's talk about love and forget, envity, whoo-oo
If Jah can forgive us, then why can't we forgive, one another?
Eli, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani
Eli, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani
Note:
The phrase, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabach-thani?', consists of:Hebrew (or Aramaic) 'Eli' (or 'Eloi'), 'Lord', and Aramaic 'lama sabachthani?', 'why hast thou forsaken me?'.
As recorded in Matthew's gospel, these were the words of Jesus on the cross, preserved in the original language even within the Greek text of the New Testament.
Jesus was quoting from Psalm 22:1:
'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?'.
