Gregory Isaacs - Sacrifice Lyrics

i was given as a sacrifice
to build a black man's hell an' a white man's paradise
but now that i know
it's time i've got to go, lord
the proceedings seem so painful
and so slow, slow, slow
the proceedings seem so painful
and so slow

i have gathered all the wealth
from all over the world
beating chains an' shackles
just to help them make them kings, duke and earl
but now that i know
it's time i've got to go lord
the proceedings seem so painful
and so slow, slow, slow
the proceedings seem so painful
and so slow

what i give is what i will take
i gave love - i won't take no wait
i say : love love love - iniversally
love love love

what i give is what i will take
i gave love - i won't take no wait
i say : love love love - iniversally
love love love - itinually
love love love
that is what i give
and that is what i take
