It grieves me to my heart,
And I've got to protest and speak out..
Oh when I turn my eyes and see,
The wickedness that Babylon been carrying on.
Oh when I turn my eyes and see,
The things they are doing to the people on the street.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills and be at rest.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.. take it from me.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills and be at rest.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.
Oh when I turn and look around and see,
People drinking dirty water like dogs.
Oh when I turn around and see,
How food waste a government house.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills and be at rest.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.. take this serious.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills and be at rest.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.
(..)
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills and be at rest.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.. can you feel the spirit rise?
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills and be at rest.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.
Oh when I turn around and see,
Poor people are not being respected.
Oh when I turn around and see,
Education is deteriorated.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills and be at rest.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.. I want you rock an' come in ya.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills and be at rest.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills and be at rest.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.
Oh when I turn my eyes and look and see,
How much starvation stand up.
Hungry stand up like man,
While white squall man fi cut them throat.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills and be at rest.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.. come mek we sing it together.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills and be at rest.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly to the hills.
Oh that I have wings like a dove,
I would fly.
