Desmond is a big man, he is six foot one 
He brought home an organ, just to have some fun 
Pressure got too much, stardom take it's toll 
Woh, his life is just one big black hole 
Woh, Desmond you should've held your head up high 
Not be dispirited when your feeling gets you down 
As I sat there watching Desmond acting like a clown 
My tears come falling down like rain 
My tears come falling down like rain 
Alton was a hard man yes we all agree 
Him sacrifice life for his family 
Policeman come, put him in a jail 
You should've heard old Alton wail 
Oh Alton, you should've held your head up high 
Not be dispirited when your feeling gets you down 
Now they come and tell me he's lying dead in a cell 
My tears come falling down like rain 
My tears come falling down like rain 
Come from Jamaica, I was eight years old 
I didn't want to, I had to do what I was told 
Stepmother brought me up, she taught me right from 
wrong 
Every night, she used to sing this little song 
Woh, children you've got to hold your head up high 
Not be dispirited when your feeling gets you down 
When I think about my family the joy just makes me cry 
My tears come falling down like rain 
My tears come falling down like rain 
My tears come falling down like rain, rain, rain yeah
