Better listen to the sound it cuts much deeper
It’s like those waters trickling down straight to the sea (yeah)
You’ve got to seek to find your ground over hills and the valleys
While you walking through the sands of a mighty sea.
But you running and you running still you slipping and you sliding
But you just can’t seem to get away (ah)
All of the time that you keep spending turning pages
But the changes don’t come your way.
You see the people making out but sometimes sorrow make them shout
And still the bare wood ina them fire make them stay (yeah)
Goodness and mercy is for the meek yeah
And for the humble yes for the meek yeah
Give the youths a try
Give the youths a try
Give the youths a try today
And save them from more perils and misfortune
Give the youths a try I say, a try, give them a try.
In these times when there’s just doubt justice is keeper
It’s like those waters running out straight to the sea (yeah)
Oh so beautiful those days now that sorrows departed
The Earth the sky and sea they all agree.
But you running and you running still you slipping and you sliding
But you just can’t seem to get away (ah)
All of the time that you keep spending turning pages
But the changes don’t come your way.
You see the people making out but sometimes sorrow make them shout
And still the bare wood ina them fire make them stay (yeah)
Goodness and mercy is for the meek yeah
And for the humble yes for the meek yeah
So give the youths a try
Give the youths a try
Give the youths a try today
And save them from more perils and misfortune
Give the youths a try I say, a try, give them a try.
