The sun will smite this concrete jungle today   The rain will fall in Africa   Sunrise rising in the east   From where I stand   I see Jah moon rising right over yonder   From where I'm standing   Jah love got the groove    From where I'm standing   Jah works got the move   Despite the wickedness   Jah love got the groove    Despite the runnings       (chorus)   Rough    system well rough   Got to come   Well red    ready, red, red, red       Down in South Africa, war, war   War are go down there so   One set a man got the means and the schemes   The ways oppress the other one well   Their darkest fears soon reveal   I hear freedom fighters wailing in Soweto   Brothers let me tell you   I feel your pain   Feel your strain       chorus       Longtime we root   Longtime we dey ya so   Longtime we fighting for what   For what we really wanted   Concrete jungle, concrete jungle well ram   African, Blackman, Chinaman, Indian here   Whole lotta love   Look at the rainbow people out there   A there so we born   A there sow the roots now   With our futures hanging in despair         chorus
