Got To Be There

Frederick Hibbert

Lord I must know
If you've been weeping and wailing
Naughty, naughty
Who knows how that love had to linger on, somebody help

Got to be there
Got to be there
Got to be there
Just to answer to your name (I feel the spirit)
When the roll is called for your fate, aah (I feel the spirit)

If you go the bad way (I feel the spirit)
You must prepare to get bad pay (I feel the spirit)
The seed you sow, girl, thank God (I feel the spirit)
This you shall surely reap, my brother and sister, listen (I feel the spirit)

Oh, oh, hey, got to be there
Got to be there
Got to be there
Just to answer to your name when the roll is called for your fate

Lord have mercy now (I feel the spirit)
My brother Moses got to be there (I feel the spirit)
Also brother Peter got to be there (I feel the spirit)
The sinners got to be there, listen (I feel the spirit)
I've got to be there too, I've got to be there too, you know (I feel the spirit)

Got to be there
Got to be there
Got to be there
Just to answer to your name when the roll is called for your fate, hey, hey

Let me tell you now

Oh, ah, yeah
If you are from Canada
If you are from America (I feel the spirit)
If you are from Africa (I feel the spirit)
If you are from Jamaica (I feel the spirit)

You got to be there
Got to be there
Got to be there
Just to answer to your name when the roll is called for your fate
