Peace In Liberia (Live) Lyrics

Lyrics
"We want peace in Liberia
Peace in Monrovia
We want peace in Liberia
Peace in Monrovia
Cause Babylone shall not rise again
Babylone shall not rise again
Babylone shall not stand again
Babylone shall not stand again
Cause everyday they talking about
the Liberian civil war
and everywhere over JAH land
muddy rivers of blood oh Lord!
No matter who wins, Liberia is crying
no matter who looses, Liberia still crying
no matter who's right, they've got to stop the fight
no matter matter who's wrong, the devil still stronger...
So we want peace in Liberia
Peace in Monrovia
We want peace in Liberia
peace in Monrovia
Cause Babylone shall not rise again
Babylone shall not rise again
Babylone shall not stand again
Babylone shall not stand again
We calling on Jesus Christ to save I and I
We calling Jesus Christ to save I and I
We calling on Allah to save I and I
Calling Adonaí to save I and I
cry, cry Liberia... "
