( Bob Marley )
Yes, in high seas or in low seas
I'm gonna be your friend
You know that I'm gonna be your friend
Any so in high tide or in low tide
I'll be by your side
You know that I'll be by your side
I heard her praying, praying, praying - mmh
I said I heard my mother
Her praying, praying, praying - mmh
She was praying in the night
And the words that she said, the words that she said
They still linger in my head, linger in my head
She said : "A child is born into this world
He needs protection" - yeah
God, guide and protect us
When we're wrong, please correct us
When we're wrong, correct us
And stand by me
In these high seas or in low seas
I'm gonna be your friend
You know that I'm gonna be your friend
Any so in high tide or in low tide
I'll be by your side
You know that I'll be by your side
I said I heard my mother
Her crying, crying, crying - mmh
She was crying in the night
And the tears that she shed, the tears that she shed
They still linger in my head, linger in my head
She said : "A child is born into this world
He needs protection" - yeah
God, guide and protect us
When we're wrong, please correct us
When we're wrong correct us
And stand by me
In these high seas or in low seas
I'm gonna be your friend
You know that I'm gonna be your friend
Any so in high tide or in low tide
I'll be by your side
You know that I'll be by your side
Yes, in high seas or in low seas
I'm gonna be your friend
You know that I'm gonna be your friend
Any so in high tide or in low tide
I'll be by your side
You know that I'll be by your side
I heard her praying, praying, praying - mmh
I said I heard my mother
Her praying, praying, praying - mmh
She was praying in the night
And the words that she said, the words that she said
They still linger in my head, linger in my head
She said : "A child is born into this world
He needs protection" - yeah
God, guide and protect us
When we're wrong, please correct us
When we're wrong, correct us
And stand by me
In these high seas or in low seas
I'm gonna be your friend
You know that I'm gonna be your friend
Any so in high tide or in low tide
I'll be by your side
You know that I'll be by your side
I said I heard my mother
Her crying, crying, crying - mmh
