Stop the war in Rhodesia
Stop the war in Mozambique
When you take up your daily paper
All you read, Mister Editor
What's going on, on the land?
What a ball of confusion
Confusion here
Confusion there
You have the whole men despair
You have the whole men despair
Somebody got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to give an helping hand
Black against black every day
Too much wolves are in the pack
Got to give an helping hand
Black against black every day
Too much wolves are in the pack
Lord, it's a dirty, dirty shame
The poor people of the ghetto's
They really can't do no better
The man of high society
Sits at home sipping his coffee
Got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to give an helping hand
Little children going to school
Nobody to set the golden rule
Somebody got to set an example
For the children to follow
Because, don't you know
Yes, you should know
They're the people of tomorrow
And it's true, true
Somebody got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to give an helping hand
Somebody got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to give an helping hand
Somebody got to rescue Jah children
The cost of living is rising high
And only the strong will survive
Getting higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher
Somebody got to rescue Jah children
Somebody got to give an helping hand
Somebody got to rescue Jah children
