God gave me travelling shoes, God gave me the wanderer¡¯s eye,
|
God gave me a few gold coins to help me to the other side.
|
Looked around and said: be careful how small things grow,
|
God gave me travelling shoes and I knew that it was time to go.
|
|
Sent in the ship at night to take me to the hidden port.
|
Found me the key at last to open up the prison door.
|
Brought down the blackbird's wings, gifted me with beggar's eyes.
|
Sent in the jackals to tell me I should say bye, bye, bye.
|
|
I'm home, home,
|
Home, home, home
|
And I'm home, home,
|
home, home, home
|
But I'm miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
|
Where can I hide?
|
|
God gave me one last chance, gave me one last reprieve.
|
Jah gave me hunger, gave me the air to breathe.
|
Gave me one suitcase, gave me one last goodbye
|
Gave me travelling shoes, without them I would surely die, die, die
|
|
Home, home
|
Home, home, home (2x)
|
|
Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
|
Where can i go?
|
Where can I hide?
