Thanks Marco! I have tried to make some improvements to the lyrics any corrections, comments, suggestions etc will be most welcome

Life for the giving
Life is for living
Not for the giving
We shall good thought (?)
Inside … (?)
Give him the .... (?)
Will talk to the bride (?)
God would make the healers
They can't unite again

They set you up my son
They set you up my children
Why did you set up my children?

They think they got the power
Little power
Don’t know the hour
….. (?)
Sure as the hour
Men shall destroy (?)
Men shall strive
They shall even try
To take your life

They set you up my son
They set you up my son

Guide and protect you
This are the mourners (?)
Sample my prayer (?)
And those who have longed
To see your hurt
Hope they are satisfied
For what it’s worth

They set you up my son
They set you up my people
They set you up my son
They set you up my children

They know not day
They know not night
They are so lost
In a light that’s so bright
For umpteen years
We give these tears
Yet they pass the sea
Seeking a plan
As long as their minds
Play with their minds
Play in their heads
Use them for deaths
Send them to the rock
Send them to kill
Send them to upset
The ruling government

They set you up my son
Oh yes they will!
They set you up my son

State the words of my master
State the words of my master
I shall protect thee
Keep wickedness away
And I shall have plenty (?)
Land I have chose (?)
Thou shall be free
Thou shall see
… victory of the enemy

Jah is our strength
Jah is our strength
Jah is our strength

They set you up my son
Oh yes they will

Oh people please
Look with your eyes
Be with your vision
Try to realize
Offence that march (?)
Give him a starch (?)
Play with your mind (?)
Will see your blind (?)
Take your religion
Drive you away
Surround you by water
From that day to this day
You cannot move
Without all that ....
Through all of the hassles
You have to please them

They set you up my son
I know they will now
They set you up my son

Say the will of my masters
And not nothing from this disaster
Time is at hand
We understand
They shall pay
For what they’ve done
Vengence is thiers
Laughing is mine (?)
So I shall turn
Now shall be blind

They try to set you up my son
They set you up my son
My son
My son

As did their pleasure
Just not and men
So men trust in chariots, horses and plates
They’ve been brainwashed
So many years
We gather till then
But a king is never honoured in his own country
And a prophet is never honoured in his own country
But Jah is the strength
Shield of I hand
These are the statues (?)
…. got this Land
….. poeple
Can come take I life
So judge…(?)

(?)……

And now fire ago bun yuh
Yuh miss?
Yes yuh miss
You were wrong
You were wrong

They set you up my son
They set you up my son

How can you rest
Sun night
How can you think
(?)
So far away
Can’t be alone
Don’t be no…
Please come on home

…..

Jah is our strength!
Jah is our strength!
