Intro
, , , x2
Little boy sitting on his daddy's knee
In a circle full of drums and harmony
His mother kneel down and say
"My son do you know why you are here today?"
(No Chord)
and his daddy say
Chorus
Jah' made these drums for you
To play with your heart and soul let the music carry you through
Jah' made these drums for you
Jah' made these drums for you
Just a few years down the road
Same boy is old enough to help his father carry the load
On a boat they will fish all day
Boy gets frustrated, so his daddy say
Chorus
Jah' made these things for you
The sky above and the ocean blue
Jah' made these things for you
Jah' made these things for you
Comes to his dad with tears in his eyes
Said now she's gone and I don't know why
I gave her three good years of my life
Should I run away or swallow my pride?
(No Chord)
and his daddy say
Chorus
Jah' made this pain for you
Now you are grown so you should choose what you should do
Jah' made this pain for you
Jah' made this pain for you
(Short tounge roll)
Break
Old man lying on his dying bed
His faithful son right by his side
He said now you are gone and I will have no one
But in his last breathe he please tell your son
Chorus
Jah' made this life for you
You can do anything that you want to do
Jah' made this life for you
Jah' made this life for you
And you, and you, and you.
