Verse 1: Stephen Marley
I've been gone awhile away from you and I hope you overstand 
That I 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 [bad word] in 
It's a joy when I sit down and think of the good things that we have 
And what we do to make it through when the good turns to the bad 
Well I hope you find it in your heart and know these words are [bad word] 
And please don't fuss because I *must* go do what I must do 
 [bad word]  Stephen Marley 
Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky 
I'll [bad word] home to you again 
And if you thought that I was lost, I have to *bear* my cross 
Now I'm free from all these chains 

Verse 2: Stephen Marley 
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 bear 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 find it in your heart and know these words are [bad word] 
And please don't cry you know that I must do what I must do 
 [bad word]  Stephen Marley 
Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky 
I'll [bad word] home to you again 
And if you thought that I was lost, I have to *bear* my cross 
Now I'm free from all these chains 

Bridge: Stephen Marley Mos Def 
Well then it's not easy, Jah knows I have tried I tried 
So don't you get weary (Oh God) Jah knows I tried 

Verse 3: Mos Def 
And God knows, that life is one big road 
With alot 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 sights 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 [bad word] to an end and I'm back home again 
So baby please don't cry 
Cause nobody knows and it's no bye bye bye 
And our love don't die with the passin of time 
It just grow more, it just keep strong 
And even though I'm gone I ain't never too far 
Your the light through the dark shinin right through my heart 
So my journey just start 
 [bad word]  Stephen Marley 
Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky 
I'll [bad word] home to you again 
And if you thought that I was lost, I have to bear my cross 
Now I'm free from all these chains 

Outro: Stephen Marley 
And if you thought that I was lost, I have to bear my cross 
Now I'm free from all these chains
