Deliverance Will Come - Dennis Brown

Emancipation they say will never come, oh, will never come

Man, I said man is doomed to die

Down inna Babylon with war and strife

Grief and terror and tongues of hate

This I know will soon abate

For I have seen the land of my Father in my visions

From the hills of captivity’s plains

Yes I, the scene of the Righteous One

Will some day clear for I this land

For my brothers and my sisters

And my brethren in the yoke of oppression

For the child who only knows of death and destruction

Deliverance will come, come, come

Deliverance will come

Inna dis ya time it will come, come, come

Deliverance will come

No more visitation

Now I know where I man stand, yeah

For I have seen the land of my Father in my visions

From the hills of captivity’s plains

Yes I, the scene of the Righteous One

Will some day clear for I this land

Now my good ways?

They all laugh at me

My captivity and bondage all they can see

Emancipation they say will never come

Your destiny is in Babylon

Not in Beulah Land, Beulah Land

But I know the weary, destitute and scorned

Weakened strength by oppression and dread reforms

But deliverance will come, come, come

Deliverance will come inna dis ya time

It will come, come, come

Deliverance will come

Jubilation!

Seh, depression no more

Visitation inna dis ya time
