My Ancestors Lyrics & Tabs by Jimmy Cliff
My Ancestors
guitar chords lyrics
My ancestors were kings of old
they ruled the world and all of its gold
but look at me - oh! look at me
just look at me
My ancestors would find the sun
before they bowed down to anyone
but you gonna look at me
whoah-o-oh! look at me
just look at me
Yeah, whoah-o-oh! look at me
i'm a stranger in this land
watch me stand tall
help me, help me be just a man, oh!
My ancestors - they were mighty men
and my son - he will be one of them
help me, help me be just a man, oh!
My ancestors - they were mighty men
and my son - he will be one of them
and they'll just look at him
yeah, they'll look at him
and they'll say, he's a man, he's a man
my son's a man, oh!
My ancestors - they passed it on to me
i've got to, got to work
and pass it on to my son
and he will be a man, oh yeah
and pass it on to his son
and he will be a man, oh yes he will
