The Price Of Peace - Jimmy Cliff

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

You stole my history

Destroyed my culture

Cut out my tongue

So I can’t communicate

Then you mediate

And you separate

Hide my whole way of life

So my self I should hate

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Took away my name

Put me to shame

Made me a disgrace

As the world’s laughing stock

Think of me as show

You jeer and to mock

But your time is at hand

So you better watch the clock

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

From the shores of Africa

To the mainlaind of Haiti

Caribbean and the Pacific

Central and South America

Yes you mediate

And you separate

You hide my whole way of life

So my self I should hate

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Brother what a price I’ve paid

Sister what a price I’ve paid

Mother what a price I’ve paid

Father what a price I’ve paid

To thee

To have peace
