Could You Be Loved / and Be Loved
Damian Marley Lyrics

Where there's, more hungry mouths Than food to eat
In places where there are more people hungry than there is food to go around.

It's where the homeless Roam the street
A place where people don't have homes to go to, and instead live on the street.

Where broken glass And broken dreams Are shattered and scattered Amongst debris
Places where one can easily find broken glass and broken dreams mixed in the debris.

Sufferation wrath And still they laugh And dream of a mansion Above the half
Despite the suffering, they still dream about living in a better place after their lifetime.

No one to speak Upon their behalf Now tell me do they stand a chance?
In a place where no one stands up for the poor, can they survive?

Where there's, more food Than mouths to feed
In places where there is more food than people hungry.

Where you find those who Claim to lead
Where you find those who allegedly claim that they have control over the lives of the poor.

Because of all their personal greed They always want more than they need
Because of their selfishness and greed, they accumulate wealth greater than they need.

They don't help those Below the half
People who are below the poverty line are unsupported by the wealthy.

Instead they stand aside and laugh As if it's all we'll ever ask When will they make a change?
Rich individuals mock the poor, knowing they will never complain, when will they help?

Children lift your heads To the one Who create the sun My children And your light will come shining again Show the world Jah love is okay When we rise and greet the sun Lets give him thanks and praise
This verse signifies that every new dawn brings hope and reminds us that we can show our gratitude by spreading love and kindness through prayer.

Illegal guns They roam the night In hungry hands Waiting to bite The first sign of Any food in sight
Illegal guns become a haven for hungry people, who can use them in pursuit of their necessities.

Youths in the dark Searching for light Hard time they face Is not a choice Police curfew Is no surprise And with no one To be their voice
Young people are struggling, society has pushed them into darkness, and unfortunately, they have no one to support them or speak for them.

When there's more hungry Mouths than food to eat, And you find those who claim to lead
Where there is a scarcity of food, and bad leaders have control over the lives of the poor.

Mi get fi understand Say them plan dem faulty Well nuff a dem a twenty And favor forty

Rasta nuh beat Binghi Drum we claatt it We live longer Cause we food nuh salty We grow stronger And dem can't assault we So haile Rastafari love And exhalt it
The end calls to celebrate Haile Selassie and the Rastafarian culture in general.
