Tightrope

Deliver me oh my father
 From the downpressers
 Set me free
 Dem a trying to keep I down
 But I will always prosper
 
 Dem a trying to keep I down
 But I will always, whoa no
 Got me walking on a tightrope
 Can't afford to buck my toe
 And as long as Babylon is my foe
 I will have hope in my soul
 A poor man's life don't cut no ice
 With so many mouths to feed
 And if my word ain't good enough
 Just take a look and see
 Got me walking on a tightrope
 Can't afford to buck my toe
 And as long as Babylon is my foe
 I will have hope in my soul
 Like a drowning man who clutches a straw
 Might think he's got no chance
 The will of JAH can pull him through
 He's a helping hand, you got that
 Got me walking on a tightrope
 Can't afford to buck my toe
 And as long as Babylon is my foe
 I will have hope in my soul
 From the valley of dry bones I have risen
 And I've got to make a change
 Hang my head in the clouds with conviction
 Ain't no stopping now
 Deliver me oh my father
 Got me walking on a tightrope
 Can't afford to buck my toe
 And as long as Babylon is my foe
 I will have hope in my soul
 Just can't keep me down
 Just can't keep me down
 Just can't keep me down
 ♪
 Really just can't keep me
 Got me walking on a tightrope
 Never never say die
 Reach the mountain high!
 Never never say die
 Never never say die
 Never never say die
 Reach the mountain high!
