LAMB
O-PARTS Lyrics

Out of Ireland I have come
I come from a place filled with hate and limited opportunities.

Great hatred and little room
My home country is a place where hate and bigotry is rampant and space for growth and prosperity is scarce.

Maimed us at the start
I have been emotionally wounded by my country's oppressive society.

And now home just breaks my heart
My home country's lack of progress saddens me deeply.

To America I have come
I have migrated to America with a sense of purpose.

I hope to bring your preachermen
I desire to find a spiritual leader in America to guide my community.

Home to show my people how they can
I endeavor to learn from American spiritual leaders so I can teach my community how to better themselves.

Get their names back in the book of life of the lamb
I aim to help my community become better people and gain salvation.

I know that I have done many things
I acknowledge my past mistakes and shortcomings.

To give you reason not to listen to me
I understand if people are hesitant to accept me due to my past misdeeds.

Especially as I have been so angry
My anger in the past may have turned people away from me.

But if you´d knew me maybe you would understand me
If people were to really get to know me, perhaps they would be more understanding and accepting of me.

Words can´t express how sorry I am
I am deeply remorseful for my past actions and cannot fully express my regret through words alone.

If I ever caused pain to anybody
I apologize to anyone who I may have hurt or offended in the past.

I just hope that you can show compassion
I hope that people are able to show me compassion and hear me out despite my past mistakes.

And love me enough to just please listen
I hope that people can overlook my past transgressions and hear what I have to say with an open mind and heart.

Out of Ireland I did run
I left my home country to find a better life elsewhere.

Aimed to break my heart
My home country's society was designed to emotionally hurt people like me.

Or wreck me up and tear me all apart
Living in my home country was draining and made me feel broken and lost.

I need to find a good preacherman
I am searching for a wise spiritual leader to help me on my journey.

Who can show me how I can
I want to learn from the preacher so I can help steer my community in the right direction.

Get my name back in the book of life of the lamb
I desire to attain salvation and help others do so as well.

I bring these blessings with me
I come with a hopeful heart and strong faith.

A strong heart full of hope and a feeling
I am filled with courage and optimistic feelings despite my past experiences.

That everything in this world would be okay
I believe that everything will turn out alright in the end according to God's plan.

If people just believed enough in God to pray
If people were more dedicated to their faith, the world would be a better place.

But the world thinks that sounds crazy
Unfortunately, not everyone shares my belief in the power of faith and prayer.

And that´s the thing that makes me sing so sadly
The lack of belief in God and prayer in the world makes me feel disheartened and sad.

To think that we would leave God so lonely
The idea that people are distancing themselves from God makes me feel like God is being left alone and abandoned.

To think that we would mess up our own destiny
Our lack of faith and devotion to God may be hindering our destiny and preventing us from achieving our full potential.

Out of history we have come
We are a product of our past and our cultural history.

With great hatred and little room
We inherited a world filled with hatred and inopportunities.

It aims to break our hearts
Our world can be hurtful and trying at times.

Or wrecks us up and tear us all apart
Our past experiences can leave us feeling traumatized and disconnected.

But if we listen to the preacherman
If we listen to wise spiritual leaders, we can find guidance and healing.

He can show us how it can be done
The religious leaders can show us the way towards salvation and happiness.

To live in peace and live as one
The goal of religious leaders is to unite people and to create a more harmonious world.

Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb
By working towards a harmonious life, we can attain salvation and peace.

Out of hopelessness we can come
Even in our darkest moments, there is still hope for a better future.

If people just believe it can be done
By truly believing that we can create a better future, we can make it a reality.

´cause every prayer ever prayed is heard
God hears all of our prayers, and takes them into account.

Take power in the power of the word
By expressing our deepest desires and beliefs, we can bring them into reality.

But if we listen to the Rasta man
By listening to the wise words of the Rastafarian community, we can find guidance and wisdom.

She can show us how it can be done
Rasta women can also guide us towards a more harmonious and peaceful life.
