I've been gone awhile away from you when I hope you overstand That I got to do what I must do to be a better man Cause if I was just to act a fool do nothing for myself Then all my blessings would be cursed my world would be crumbling It's a joy when I siiiit down and think cause of the good things that we have And what we do to make it through when the good turns into bad Well I hope you find it in your heart and know these words are true And please don't fuss because I mist go do what I must do
[Chorus: Stephen Marley] Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky I'll be coming home to you again And if you thought that I was lost, I have to bury my cross Now I'm free from all these chains
[Verse 2: Stephen Marley] A time and space a different place a perfect we might be I would be the wind that blows you be that widow tree And I could never bail and thought of you not by my side So I would be the one to tell you 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 I must do what I must do
[Chorus: Stephen Marley] Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky I'll be coming home to you again And if you thought that I was lost, I have to bury my cross Now I'm free from all these chains
[Bridge: Stephen Marley] (Mos Def) Well then it's not easy, Jah knows I have tried I tried So don't you get weary (Oh God) Jah knows I tried
[Verse 3: Mos Def] And God knows, that life is one big road With alot of signs and turns and twist and curves Even though the road is rocky But maintain to ride and keep on rockin From, city to city backyard to yard And we, be seein the cites standin under the lights And the spot is hot it's cold and lonely at nights And I'm feenin and I'm dreamin and I'm holdin you tight But hold on, every single road I rode on Come to an end and I'm back home again So baby please don't cry Cause nobody knows and it's no bye bye bye And our love don't die with the passin of time It just grow more, it just keep strong And even though I'm gone I ain't movin too far Your the light through the dark shinnin right through my heart So my journey just start
[Chorus: Stephen Marley] Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky I'll be coming home to you again And if you thought that I was lost, I have to bury my cross Now I'm free from all these chains
[Outro: Stephen Marley] And if you thought that I was lost, I have to bury my cross Now I'm free from all these chains
