Max Romeo - Don't You Weep

(Romeo)

Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep now)

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep
 
The wise man built his house upon the rock
The foolish man built his house upon the sand
Matthew 7:24-27 - Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
But we shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep
 
You run to the rock to hide yourself
The rock lookin' hidin' place for itself
Revelation 6:15-17 - And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
But we shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)

//instrumental break//

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep
 
Daniel was thrown in the lions' den Daniel 6:16 - Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
Jonah was caught in the belly of a whale Jonah 1:17 - Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah 2:1 - Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
But we shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)

O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep...
