I've been gone a while 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 curse, 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 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.

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 burn my cross,
Now, I'm free from all these chains.

A time, a space, a difference 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 one to tell, you 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, 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 burn 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 weary.. Jah knows how I try, I try..

And God knows,
Life is one big road,
With a lot of signs and turns and twists and curves,
Even though the road is rocky,
My main thing's to rock and keep on rockin',
From city to city,
Backyard to yard,
And we be seein' the sights, standin' under the lights,
And the spot is hot, it's cold and lonely at night,
And I'm feenin' and I'm dreamin' and I'm holding you tight,
But hold on, every single road I roll on,
Comes to an end and I'm back home again..
So baby please don't cry, there's no valley low and there's no mountain high,
And our love don't die with the passage of time,
It just grows more,
And just keep strong,
And even though I'm gone, I am never too far,
You're the light thru the dark, shining right thru my heart,
So my journey must start...

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 burn my cross,
Now, I'm free from all these chains.

'Cause if you thought that I was lost, I had to burn my cross,
Now, I'm free from all these chains..
