Up a cane river to wash my dread
Upon a rock I rest my head
There I vision through the seas of oppression
Don't make my life a prison
We come from Trench Town, Trench Town
Most of them come from Trench Town
We free the people with music
Can we free the people with music
Can we free our people with music?
With music, oh music
In desolate places we'll find our bread
And everyone see what's taking place
Another page in history
We come from Trench Town
Come from Trench Town
We come from Trench Town
Lord we free the people with music
We free the people with music
With music, oh music
They say it's hard to speak
They feel so strong to say we are weak
But through the eyes the love of our people
They've got to repay
We come from Trenchtown
They say, "Can anything good come out of Trench Town?
Say Trench Trenchtown we're the underprivileged people
So Trenchtown they keep us in chains
Pay, pay tribute to Trenchtown
We come from Trench, Trenchtown
Just because we come from Trench Town
Not because we come from Trench Town
Just because we come from Trenchtown
