In high seas or a low seas
I'm gonna be your friend, I'm gonna be your friend
In high tide or a low tide


I'll be by your side, I'll be by your side

I heard her praying, praying, praying
Said I heard my mother, she was praying in the night
I heard her praying, praying, praying
And words that she said, the words that she said
They still linger in my head, lingers in my head, she said...

When a child is born in this world
They need protection
Jah guide and protect us
And when we're wrong, correct us
Stand by me
And stand with me...

In high seas or a low seas
I'm gonna be your friend, I'm gonna be your friend
In high tide or a low tide
I'll be by your side, I'll be by your side

Poor what do you say?
I heard her crying, crying, crying
Yes I heard my mother, she was crying in the night
I heard her crying, crying, crying
And the tears that she shed, the tears that she shed
Lingers in my head, lingers in my head, she said...

Any time a child is born
They need protection
Jah guide and protect us
And when we're wrong, correct us
And stand with me...

In high seas or a low seas
I'm a gonna be your friend, I'm gonna be your friend
In high tide or a low tide
I'll be by your side, I'll be by your side
