Letra de Tight rope

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 ... WO

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

Got me walking on a tightrope
Never never say die
Reach the mountain high!
