TIMI DAKOLO: There’s A Cry

Timi Dakolo - There is a cry

VERSE 1

There’s a cry form a young boy, in a city running wild;

There’s a cry from a mother, who just lost another child;

There’s a cry from a people, who have nothing more to lose;

Everything that they lived for, have been wasted and abused.

[CHORUS:]

There’s a cry from a river, that has nowhere to flow;

And the pride of the river was lost so long ago;

And that cry is for a reason, that only heaven knows;

Where did they go wrong, how can we go on;

Only hope remains the answer.

ASA: Jailer

Asa - Jailer

VERSE 1

I’m in chains you’re in chains too
I wear uniforms and you wear uniforms too
I’m a prisoner,
You’re a prisoner too Mr Jailer

I have fears you have fears too
I will die, you sef go die too
Life is beautiful
Don’t you think so too Mr Jailer

[CHORUS:]
I’m talking to you jailer
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin –
Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer, Mr Jailer Man
