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 just to act a fool, do nothing with myself
Then all my blessings would be cursed, my world would be 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 into 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
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 every day 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, you know that I must do what I must do
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 tried, I tried
So don't you get weary (oh God)
Jah knows how I tried, I tried
And God knows that life is one big road
With a lot of signs and turns and twist and curves
Even though the road is rocky
But maintain to ride and keep on rockin'
From city to city, backyard to yard
And we be seein' the cites standin' under the lights
And the spot is hot, it's cold and lonely at nights
And I'm feenin' and I'm dreamin' and I'm holdin' you tight
But hold on, every single road I rode on
Come to an end and I'm back home again
So baby, please don't cry
'Cause no valley low and is no mountain high
And our love don't die with the passage of time
It just grow more, it just keep strong
And even though I'm gone, I ain't movin' too far
You're the light through the dark, shinnin' right through my heart
So my journey just start
Even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
'Cause if you thought that I was lost, I have to bare my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
'Cause if you thought that I was lost, I have to bare my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains...
