"Selam (Peace)" lyrics

Dem want fi see we suffa
Dem want fi see we fail
Dem want we inna di gutta
Want fi see we go insane
Want fi see we bun up inna brimstone and flame
Nuff people round the world dem inna world of pain, yeah
So gunman inna guntown dem a rule up di street
From morning till a sundown evil nah break fi sleep
Governments a war each other the people suffer so deep
So what we want is peace
So we tell dem

Selam, selam, selam, selam, selam
To the world
Selam, selam, selam, selam, selam
Peace inna dis world
Selam, selam, selam, selam, selam
To the world
Selam, selam, selam, selam, selam
Peace inna dis world

Bring my blessings to the children
Blessings to the earth
Blessings to my mother
Who carried me into this world
Blessings to the sunshine
And blessings for the soul
Bring my greetings to my friends
They'll never let me walk alone and
Greetings to the young folks
They will inherit this earth
Bring strength and bring guidance
And let them know what they're worth
What use is there for arguments
What use is there for strife
When all we want is peace
So we tell them

Selam, selam, selam, selam, selam
To the world
Selam, selam, selam, selam, selam
Peace inna dis world
Selam, selam, selam, selam, selam
To the world
Selam, selam, selam, selam, selam
Peace inna dis world
