Four Hundred Years Lyrics - Gold (1967-1972) - Bob Marley

400 years (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o) 

And it's the same - 

The same (wo-o-o-o) philosophy 

I've said it's four hundred years; 

Look, how long (wo-o-o-o) 

And the people they (wo-o-o-o) still can't see. 

Why do they fight against the poor youth of today? 

And without these youths, they would be gone - 

All gone astray 

Come on, let's make a move: 

I can (wo-o-o-o) see time (wo-o-o-o) - time has come, 

And if-a fools don't see 

I can't save the youth: 

The youth (wo-o-o-o) is gonna be strong. 

So, won't you come with me; 

I'll take you to a land of liberty 

Where we can live - live a good, good life 

And be free. 

Look how long: 400 years, (400 years, 400 years) - 

Way too long! (wo-o-o-o) 

That's the reason my people (wo-o-o-o) - my people can't see. 

Said, it's four hundred long years - (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o) 

Give me patience (wo-o-o-o) - same philosophy. 

It's been 400 years, (400 years, 400 years) 

Wait so long! Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o. 

How long? 400 long, long years. [fadeout]
