a dedication to all the refugees worldwide
one time say say say
i remember when we used to sit in the government yard in brooklyn
observing the crookedness as it mingled with the good people we meet
good friends we had
good friends weve lost along the way
in this great future you cant forget your past
so dry your tears i say
and to my peeps who passed
away
no woman no cry no woman no cry say say say
hey little sister dont shed no tears
no woman no cry say say say
i remember when we used to rock in a project yard in jersey
and little georgie would make the firelight
as stolen cars passed through the night
and then wed hit the corner store for roots paper and brew
my drinks my only remedy
for pain of losing family but while im gone shorty
everythings gonna be alright everythings gonna be alright
fugees come to the dance tonight everythings gonna be alright
o everythings gonna be alright
the gun mans in the house tonight
but everythings gonna be alright
clef
no woman no cry no woman no cry
hey little sister dont shed no tears
no woman no cry say say say
i remember when we used to sit in a government yard in trenchtown
the hypocrites as they mingled with the good people we meet
good friends we had oh good friends weve lost
along the way hey
in this great future
you cant forget your past so dry your tears i say
and no woman no cry no woman no cry say say say
hey little sister dont shed no tears
no woman no cry and to my peeps who passed away
