Up a cane river to wash my dread   Upon a rock I rest my head   There I vision through the seas of oppression   Don't make my life a prison      We come from Trench Town, Trench Town   Most of them come from Trench Town   We free the pepole with music, sweet music   Can we free the people with music   Can we free our people with music, with music   With music, oh music      Whoa-My head, in desolate places we'll find our bread   And everyone see what's taking place   Whoa-yo another page in history      We come from Trench Town, come from Trench Town   We come from Trench Town   Lord we free the people with music,   We free the people with music, sweet music   We free our people with music   With music, Oh music, Oh music      They say it's hard to speak   They feel so strong to say we're weak   But through the eyes the love of our people   Whoa-A they go to repay      We come from Trench Town   We come from Trench Town, Trench, Trench Town   They say can anything good come out of Trench Town?   That's what they say, Trench Town   Say we're the underprivileged people   So they keep us in chains   Pay pay pay tribute to Trench Town, Trench Town   We come from Trench Town, not because we come    from Trench Town   Just because we come from Trench Town
