Hey... I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free 
I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free 

Mommy loves to work and daddy loves to play 
Sometimes daddy got to go far away 
I'm too young to go quiet in the night 
Try to put me to sleep I'm gonna give it a fight 

I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free 
I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free 

Wake you up at 5 am 
Before the sunrise I'll be your friend 
And you know I don't like for you to take too long 
Just [bad word] when you hear this song 

 [bad word]  

Well now....I'm gonna miss you now Mr. Far Away 
Paint a picture of you and send it off today 
And when [bad word] home you can bring it back to me 
Color in the lines, define this whole world for me 

 [bad word]  

Practice makes perfect and that I agree 

[ From: [bad word] [bad word] cry-cry-cry-lyrics-ziggy-marley.html ]

So don't be surprised that I want to be free 
I know what I know and that's all that I know 
But I been told you reap what you sow 

 [bad word]  

Mama's telling me what to eat today 
But I don't feel like I'm gonna go that way 
What I need is something sweet and nice 
What I need is a treat alright 

I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free 
I'm gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free 
Set the children free. Set the children free 
Set the children free 

Free up their hearts, free up their minds 
Set the children free 
Free up their dreams and their imagination 

Set the children free 
Set the children free
