I've been gone a while away from you
when I hope you overstand
That I've got to do
what I must do to be a better man
'Cause if I was just to act a fool,
do nothing with myself
Then all my blessings would be cursed,
my world would crumble in
It's a joy when I sit down
and think of the good times that we had
And what we do to make it through
when the good turns to the bad
Well I hope you'll find it in your heart
to know these words are true
And please don't fuss
because I must go do what I must do
Hey baby don't you worry,
even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
'cause if you thought that I was lost,
I had to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
A time, a space, a different place,
how perfect we might be
I would be the wind that blows,
you'd be that willow tree
And I could never bear the thought
of you not by my side
So I would be the warmth of day,
you'd be the cool of night
And everyday I pray to Jah
that one day you will see
And overstand the fact
I must fulfill my destiny
I hope you find it in your heart
and know these words are true
And please don't cry
you know that I must do
what I must do
Hey baby don't you worry,
even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
If you thought that I was lost,
I had to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
Well then it's not easy,
Jah knows how I try, I try
So don't you get weary Oh God
Jah knows how I try, I try
And God knows, that life is one big road
With a lot of signs and turns
and twist and curves
Even though the road is rocky
But maintain the ride
and keep on rocking
From city to city, backyard to yard
And we be seeing the sights
and standing under the lights
And the spot is hot
it's cold and lonely at nights
And I'm feeling and I'm dreaming
and I'm holding you tight
But hold on,
every single road I rode on
Comes to an end
and I'm back home again
So baby please don't cry
It's no valley low
and it's no mountain high
And our love don't die
with the passage of time
It just grow more,
it just keep strong
And even though I'm gone
I ain't moving too far
You're the light through the dark
shining right through my heart
So my journey just start
even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
If you thought that I was lost,
I had to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
'cause if you thought that I was lost,
I have to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
