Sacrifice - Gregory Isaacs

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 — universally

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 — universally

Love love love — continually

Love love love

That is what I give

And that is what I take
