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 [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
