Hi!
    I have written a prayer song dedicated to the victims of April 10th. and 11th. and to the Gambian nation and laid it on an instrumental. You can hear the song at:

The lyrics go like this:


CHORUS:  Dem gone a yes dem gone, innocent, innocent blood gone,
Dem gone a yes dem gone, young, young life, man dem gone,
Dem gone a yes dem gone, innocent, innocent blood gone,
Dem gone a yes dem gone, young, young life, man dem gone.


It was a very, very, very, very sad day, dat day, a inna April,
It was a very, very, very, very sad day, dat day, a inna April,
When a lot of student they lose their life, wo ho, ye he
Dedicate dis one, to each and every one.


CHORUS:  Dem gone a yes dem gone, innocent, innocent blood gone,
Dem gone a yes dem gone, young, young life, man dem gone,
Dem gone a yes dem gone, innocent, innocent blood gone,
Dem gone a yes dem gone, young, young life, man dem gone.


Di whole nation, man di whole nation, di whole nation man a ball fi di loss,
Di whole nation, man di whole nation, di whole nation man a cry fi di loss,
Innocent blood, man a young, young, young blood, 
Innocent blood man dem spill to di ground,
Innocent blood, man a young, young, young blood, 
Innocent blood man dem spill to di ground.


CHORUS:  Dem gone a yes dem gone, innocent, innocent blood gone,
It was a very, very, very, very sad day, dat day, kah inna April.

A Lord have mercy pon we nation, a keep us away from tribulation,
A tribulation and a botheration, help us oh Lord, me say heal we nation,
A keep us away from tribulation, a help us live together like we are one,
A one people and a one nation, a living together like brother and sister.


CHORUS: It was a very, very, very, very sad day, dat day, kah inna April.


Lord, remember all who died inna April, 
Open your door and let dem inna Heaven, open your door and let dem inna Heaven,
Have mercy me say pon we nation, what happen inna April we no want it no more,
So give us di strength to love one another, give us di strength to man fi live together,
A give us di strength man fi pray together, so we can pray fi di innocent blood, 
So we can pray fi di young, young blood, oh Lord me say innocent blood.




Have a good evening.
