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
