Come Away

Luciano Messenjah

Come ah me say come away
From the land of the sinking sand
Come ah me say come away
Oh we children of Zion
Come ah me say come away
From the land of the sinking sand

All we children arise
Hear the words of the wise

For too long you've been living in confusion
Trapped in the world of delusion
Now in this age of the Holy Armageddon
Up ye mighty race, rise to this occasion

And come ah me say come away
From the land of the sinking sand
Come ah me say come away
Oh we children of Zion
Come ah me say come away
From the land of the sinking sand

All we children arise
Hear the words of the wise

In the abundance of blessings, all souls will dwell
[?], all things shall be well
With ever-flowing springs and pastures green
As long as you know your heart is clean

Then I say come
Oh oh oh come
I say come
Oh ye children
Come
I say come
Oh come
Oh oh oh

Come ah me say come away
From the land of the sinking sand
Come ah me say come away
Let us trod into Mount Zion

All we children be wise
And hear the words of the wise

Too long have we been doing this [?]
Caught up in the world of this delusion

Come ah me say come away
From the land of the sinking sand
Come ah me say come away




Oh we children of Zion
Come ah me say come away...
