Children Songtext
von Burning Spear

Children, where have you been?
Children, where have you been?
On the beach to see if we could catch
Few more fish from out of the sea
Just few more from out of the sea

And your head so red, your head getting ready
Sea so rough, so rough, boat′s rocky-rocky inside
Current so strong, current so strong
You could even hate about
Knocked about, knocked about

Be careful how you walk, be careful how you walk
A them ya fisherman about, a them ya fisherman about

Leave the ocean and come, leave the ocean and come
Leave the ocean and come, leave the ocean and come

I no hate you, hate you, I no hate you, hate you
No, I don't hate no one
I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love
That′s why I gots to say


You leave the ocean and come, you leave the ocean and come
You leave the ocean and come

All night at sea, all night at sea
Night you were finding a way
And your lamp get so dim that even one nip you get
That's why I got to say to you, to you, to you, to you

You leave the ocean and come, you leave the ocean and come, come on
You leave the ocean and come, come on
You leave the ocean, leave it
Leave the ocean and come, leave the ocean and come

Children, where have you been?
On the beach to say fi good catch
Few more fish from out of the sea
The sea so rough, so rough
Boat's rocky-rocky two side
Current so strong, so strong

Leave the ocean and come, you leave the ocean and come
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
You leave the ocean and come
Leave the ocean and come, leave the ocean and come
