lyrics

MARLEY'S LAMENT

In life I was an outlaw
And stole with trembling hand
I'm up in Heaven now
Or some place such as that
And I have a better view here
And nothing seems so pat
As when I was an outlaw
And I walked an outlaw path

I see the poor and hungry
In their trials on down below
And wonder why I did not care
And made them suffer so
When I am my brother's keeper
Oh, the hand of time moves slow
When I was an outlaw
There was much I did not know

In death I am an outlaw
And I killed across this land
I know this is not Heaven here
And yes, I understand
These faces of my neighbors
Condemn the selfish man
Who lived life as an outlaw
And forsook his brother's hand
