Sitting here in Maui listening to this Samoan/Hawaiian band and just loving them. I wish them all the best.

Here are the lyrics (as best I can determine).
Roots in dispair
Nothing is right
Out of the darkness
Shine up the light
Come along, child
Come along… child
Jah Jah makes the heavens
Earth and the seas
Wipe away transgression
Rule with equality
Come along, child
Come along… child
Follow your heart
Do what feels right
Are you worthy of your love
Are you worthy of your life
Come along, child
Come along… child
But why wave the gun
Police and the cuff
Dig a pit for you
In the middle of the road
Come along, child
Come along… child
I’d rather spend all of my days
On the peak of Mount Zion
Than wallowing in pity
In the pressure of Babylon
Come along, child
Come along… child
What pleases you now
Hurts you further down the road
Lift up your voice and
Truth will be told
Come along, child
Come along… child
Plenty of love
To go around
For everyone
To be safe and sound
Come along, child
Come along… child
Respect the balance, people
And ignorance
The roots don’t know what
The leaves have in mind
Come along, child
Come along… child
Jah Jah rules the earth
Heavens and the seas
Wipe away transgression
Rule with equality
Come along, child
Come along… child
Follow your heart
Do what feels right
Be worthy of your love
Be worthy of your life
Come along, child
Come along… child
