Hmm, yeah
Have you ever heard a caged bird sing?
There’s a time and a place for everything, woo woo
And do you believe in the joy it brings?
When your eyes are open and you can see everything
That’s around you
Separating friends from foes
Taking dangerous blows
Learning from life as you grow
Yo, do you believe me?

And however rough it may seem
It is not a far-fetched dream
And I know (I know)
Dreadlock will be coming in
And however rough it may seem
It is not a far-fetched dream
And I know (I know)
Blessings will be flowing like a steam

Have you ever heard a caged bird sing?
There’s a time and a place for everything
Do you believe me, yeah?
Just open up your eyes and look within
There’s a time and a place for everything
Or you could believe me

I searched for freedom the gate word sings
I wanna hear the freedom bell ring
Until that day uh there will be no peace, oh no
Battles rage over land and seas
Fighting soldiers with desperate needs
As children play upon a land
Filled with cluster bombs, lord

Have you ever heard a caged bird sing?
There’s a time and a place for everything, yo
Can you hear me, yeah?
Just open up your eyes take a look within
There’s a time and a place for everything, yo
Do you hear me?

This one called “Time anna time anna time anna place”
Look man well look ready don’t destroy inna hearse
Try nuh tek your money and go free nuh base
Watch where you a carry wacka run with your ways
Lot man woulda run with it if it kill you inna hearse
Kill you and go hide your body and nuh leave a trace
Listen Buju Banton pon di riddim with mi case
Unuh wan hear mi just say it to mi face, coz

Let mi sing, there’s a time and a place for everything, yo
If you don’t know, the son of the king
Just you take a look, take a look within
Coz there’s a time and a place for everything, yo
How much more can I tell unuh
