[Intro]
Jah sends me callin'
Aaaaah

[Verse 1]
Why won't the wicked listen?
(Things getting bad to us)
And it seems like nothing ever changes
(Children still having their children)

[Chorus]
This I know, this I know
Without you I am helpless, Lord
This I know, this I know
Without you life is imposible

[Verse 2]
You called on I when I was but a youth, yeah
(Filled me with the song of triumph)
You pitched your tent among my people, Lord
(Call you my heritage and culture)
And shepherd, yeah

[Chorus]
This I know, this I know
Without you I am helpless, Lord
This I know, this I know
Without you life is imposible
[Verse 3]
I cry out, and the wicked scorn me
(Only to hear their own sorrow)
Can't thеm see what they are doing?
(Them likе the kettle calling the pot black)

[Chorus]
This I know, this I know
Without you I am helpless, Lord
This I know, this I know
Without you life is imposible

[Bridge]
Oh Jah Jah, yes
(Only to hear their own sorrow)

[?]

[Chorus]
This I know, this I know
Without you I am helpless, Lord
This I know, this I know
Without you life is imposible

This I know, this I know
Without you I am helpless, Lord
This I know, this I know
Without you life is imposible
[Saxophone solo]

[Chorus]
This I know, this I know
Without you I am helpless, Lord
This I know, this I know
Without you life is imposible

[Verse 4]
Why won't the wicked listen?
(Things getting bad to us)

[Guitar solo]

[Outro]
This I know, this I know
Without you I am helpless, Lord
This I know, this I know
Without you life is imposible

This I know, this I know
Without you I am helpless, Lord
This I know, this I know
Without you life is imposible

This I know, this I know
Without you I am helpless, Lord
This I know, this I know
Without you life is imposible
