Third World - Try Jah Love lyrics

rate me

Music by Stevie Wonder

Lyrics by Stevie Wonder and Melody A. McCully

A lonely soul was I without direction

I didn't know which way that I had to go

I sought the clues to life's unanswered

questions

My mind's heart had to know

I heard you call while wandering through

the darkness

I'd walk a million miles to find that endless

voice

That speaks to me when I am in temptation

Echoing my choice

Then you said, "Seek ye shall find

I've been with you through all time"

(Chorus "A")

"And if you're thirsty I will quench you

With my love

And if you're hungry I will feed you

With my word

And all I ask of you is that you love as I do'

(Chorus "B")

"And if you lose your way I'll lead you

To my love

From a sinful life I'll cleanse you

In my love

For creation bears a witness of my love"

(Repeat once)

I know that

(Chorus "C")

You should know it's time for the world to

(Try Jah Love)

The only love that can bring peace is

(Jah, Jah Love)

So won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try

Jah Love

Love,Love,Love,Love

I know that

Without it there'd be no tomorrow (Try Jah Love)

Who lifts broken hearts up from sorrow

(Try Jah Love)

So won't you try, try, try, try, try, try Jah Love

Love,Love,Love,Love

I know that

(Chorus "C" -repeat once)

You know that

(Chorus "C" -repeat once)

(Guitar Solo)

A timeless thought a touch of close encounter

Your love embraced me and took over my life

And now I'm new your strength has made me

Change my ways from wrong to right

Please Father please this world we live

has faltered

Deliver us from all this evil and pain

God Bless the heart that loves unto his brother

Praising out your Name

Then he said, "Be not Afraid

Those who believe I will save"

(Chorus "A" -repeat)

I wonder

When will the world wake up and start to

(Try Jah Love)

People have to make up their mind to

(Jah, Jah Love)

So won't you try, try, try, try, try, try Jah Love

Love,Love,Love,Love

I know that

Once you begin you won't regret you

(Try Jah Love)

The ultimate life satisfaction (Jah, Jah Love)

So won't you try, try, try, try, try, try Jah Love

Love,Love,Love,Love

You know that

There's no excuse for no one not to

(Try Jah Love)

You'll be grateful you let inside you

(Jah, Jah Love)

So won't you try, try, try, try, try, try Jah Love

Love,Love,Love,Love

I know that

But Right is the only reason to (Try Jah Love)

The key to inner satisfaction (Jah, Jah Love)

So won't you try, try, try, try, try, try Jah Love

Love,Love,Love,Love

Try Jah Love

Jah,Jah Love

Try, try, try, try, try, try Jah Love

Love,Love,Love,Love
