Yes, give thanks and praise

To the most high Jah Rastafari

Yeah, you know

As I would say ya, you know

The father is the strong hold for the oppressed

The stronghold in the time of trouble, you know

And those who put their trust in him

Shall endure for iver, you know

As I and I would say, you see



Bless my eye this morning

Jah sun is on the rise once again

Way earthly things are going

Any thing can happen, you see



So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world



You see, we've got to face the day

Ju Ju, hoo we come what may

We the street people talking, true, true

We the people struggling, you see



So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world



Jr. Gong

So much trouble, so much violence

Nah say loving, better you keep silent

So much trouble, so much violence

Nah say loving, better you keep silent

Got to face the day no matter the consequence

World ain't getting better, ain't no improvement

Everywhere you go that's another problem

Work everyday still you can't find a cent

Land lord a hunt cause you don't pay no rent

No mother, no father, you are a lone parent

Everyone all around such a bad temperament

Have no chain round your feet still you can't free yourself

Laws cause crime and violence, so much trouble in the world



So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world



And all we've got to do

Is give a little

Take a little

Give a little

One more time

Yeah, yeah



So they sitting on their time bomb

Now I know the time has come

Telling you what goes up is coming on down

Goes around and comes around, yeah



So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world



Jr. Gong

So much trouble, so much violence

Nah say loving, better you keep silent

So much trouble, so much violence

Nah say loving, better you keep silent

Got to face the day no matter the consequence

World ain't getting better, ain't no improvement

Everywhere you go that's another problem

Work everyday still you can't find a cent

Land lord a hunt cause you don't pay no rent

No mother, no father, you are a lone parent

Everyone all around such a bad temperament

Have no chain round your feet still you can't free yourself

Laws cause crime and violence, so much trouble in the world



So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world

So much trouble in the world
