Ive been gone awhile away from you
And I hope you overstand

That Ive 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

Its 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 youll find it in your heart
And know these words are true

And please dont fuss
Because I must go do what I must do

Hey baby dont you worry

Even though the road is rocky

Ill be coming home to you again

Cause if you thought that I was lost

I had to bare my cross

Now Im free from all these Chains

A time, a space, a different place
How perfect we might be

I would be the wind that blows
Youd 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
Youd 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 youll find it in your heart and know these words are true

And please dont cry
Cause you know that I must do what I must do

Hey baby dont you worry

Even though the road is rocky

Ill be coming home to you again

Cause if you thought that I was lost

I had to bare my cross

Now Im free from all these Chains

Well and its not easy

Jah knows how I try, I try

So dont you get irie

Jah knows how I try, I try
