[steve marley – verse one] (wyclef in parentheses) {marley sisters in brackets}
You see…
Said i remember! oh, when we used to sit (where at?) – wyclef
In a government yard, in trenchtown {town!} – marley sisters
(and what did you used to see son?)
Well oh, i was observing, them hypocrites!
As they would… mingle with the good people we meet {meet!}
Yeah-yeah!
Good friends we have, and oh well!
Good friends we’ve lost! yeah-yeah!
Along…the way! {way!} yeah!
In this great future, yeah! you can’t forget your past! say-yeah
Oh, dry your tears i say {say!}

[chorus 1x]

[wyclef] – (lauryn singing in parentheses) – {marley sisters in brackets}
Say! say! say! say!
I remember! when we used to sit! [where at son?]
Oh, in a project yard, in brooklyn! {lyn!} [oh, yeah right when i left haiti,
Ha]
And little georgie, would make the fire light! (i tell ya!)
As…stolen cars passed through the night {night!} [newark, new jersey, ah-ha!]
And then we’d hit, the corner store!
For roots, paper, and brew, wooh! {brew! whoo!}
My drinks, my only remedy! i tell ya! (sold out! sold out!)
For pain of losing, family…
But while i’m gone, sure thing…

[steve, lauryn, sharon, and pam singing] – (clef, eric, and ziggy chanting)
Everything’s gonna be alright!! (oh! ah! oh-ah!)
Everything’s gonna be alright! (oh! ah! oh-ah!)
Everything’s gonna be alright!! (oh! ah! oh-ah!) (ho!)
Everything’s gonna be alright! (oh! ah! oh-ah!) (ho!)
Everything’s gonna be alright!! (oh! ah! oh-ah!) (ho!)
Everything’s gonna be alright! (oh! ah! oh-ah!) (ho!)
Everything’s gonna be alright!! (oh! ah! oh-ah!) (ho!)
Everything’s gonna be alright! (oh! ah! oh-ah!) (ho!)
