Bunny Wailer - Wanted Children


[Bunny Wailer]

Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Wanted children crying from the
Backbones of their fathers
Wanted children, longing for the
Bossom of their mothers (rep.)
 
Now didn't JAH create the earth Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And to the waters did he give birth Job 38:8 - Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
Job 38:28-30 - Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
He divided the waters from the land
Rivers for land, and seas for sand
Genesis 1:9-10 - And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Then said he, let there be light.
And he made the darkness bright
Genesis 1:3-4 - And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Greater lights to rule by day
Lesser lights to rule by night.
Genesis 1:16 - And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Nothing or no one can change them
Adjust or even rearrange them
 
These creations were here from the beginning 2 Peter 3:4 - And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
So accept them for what they're worth
For all good thing in life are free
Like liberty for you and for me
As the freedom of a raging storm
Let the little children born

Wanted children, crying from the
Backbones of their fathers
Wanted children, longin for the
Bossom of their mothers (rep).
 
And so JAH created man
Male and female according to his plan
Genesis 1:27 - So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 5:2 - Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Mark 10:6 - But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
All creatures both great and small
And in pairs he create them all
 
To man and woman he gave all dominion
Over all creatures that live on creation
To multiply and replenish the earth
By coming together and so give birth
Genesis 1:26-28 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
So who are you to try them, price them and sell them
Who are you to slave them and to
Kill them before them born
Who are you to hunt them down
Run them down and gun them down
Who are you to judge them and to
Put them to shame and scorn.

Wanted children, crying from the
Backbone of their fathers
Wanted children longin for the
Bossom of their mothers (rep.)
