Lyrics of 'Diamond City' by Ziggy Marley And The Melody Makers

Sierra Leone, Sierra Leone, yeah, Sierra Leone, yeah

Well, I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Well, I've seen a crime, to which I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Oh, diamond city, let me take you there, well, well, well

There, everyday there's a need for revolution
She's like a mother who denies her newborn milk, sweet milk
Lost are the thrills of life as we know them
They one man swim, yet many more are drowning

Well, I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Yes, I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
In a diamond city let me take you there, well, well, well

Surely we can help each other in this earth
Ain't no need to be greedy or too proud, no need
Because the color of our skin, yeah
They gave us no chance to win

Well, I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind, can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Oh, diamond city, with a broken heart

We will fight for our rights
We will fight for Africa
We will fight for our freedom
Did you hear, we will fight for Africa? Africa

I've seen a crime to which I can't be blind
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart
Yes, I've seen a crime, where are the cops this time
Living in a diamond city with a broken heart?

Oh, diamond city, with a broken heart
Oh diamond city, well, let me take you there
Let me take you there, I'll take you there
Let me take you, let me take you there
