Deliver me oh my father
|
From the downpressers
|
Set me free
|
Dem a trying to keep I down
|
But I will always prosper
|
Dem a trying to keep I down
|
But I will always ... WO
|
CHORUS
|
Got me walking on a tightrope
|
Can't afford to buck my toe
|
And as long as Babylon is my foe
|
I will have hope in my soul
|
A poor man's life don't cut no ice
|
With so many mouths to feed
|
And if my word ain't good enough
|
just take a look and see
|
CHORUS
|
Got me walking on a tightrope
|
Can't afford to buck my toe
|
And as long as Babylon is my foe
|
I will have hope in my soul
|
Like a drowning man who clutches a straw
|
Might think he's got no chance
|
The will of JAH can pull him through
|
he's a helping hand, you got that
|
CHORUS
|
Got me walking on a tightrope
|
Can't afford to buck my toe
|
And as long as Babylon is my foe
|
I will have hope in my soul
|
From the valley of dry bones I have risen
|
and I've got to make a change
|
hang my head in the clouds with conviction
|
Ain't no stopping now
|
Deliver me oh my father
|
CHORUS
|
Got me walking on a tightrope
|
Can't afford to buck my toe
|
And as long as Babylon is my foe
|
I will have hope in my soul
|
Just can't keep me down
|
Just can't keep me down
|
Just can't keep me down
|
Really just can't keep me
|
CHORUS
|
Got me walking on a tightrope
|
Never never say die
|
Reach the mountain high!
