I've been gone awhile away from you
And I hope you overstand
That I've got to do what I must do
To be a better man
Cause if I was to 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 have
And what we do to make it through
When the good turns in to the bad
Well I hope you'll find it in your heart
And know these words are true
And please don't fuss
Because I must go do what I must do

[Chorus:]
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 bare 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 bare 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'll find it in your heart and know these words are true
And please don't cry
Cause you know that I must do what I must do

[Chorus:]
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 bare my cross
Now I'm free from all these Chains

Well and it's not easy
Jah knows how I try, I try
So don't you get irie
Jah knows how I try, I try
