Deliver me oh my father
From the downpressers
Set me free
Dem a trying to keep I down
I will always prosper
Dem a trying to keep I down
But I will always     WO
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 there 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
Get to make a change
Hang my head in the clouds with conviction
Ain't no stopping now
Deliver me oh my father
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
Just can't keep me Really just can't keep
Got me walking on a tightrope
Never never say die
Reach the mountain high
Never never say die
Never never say die
