TIGHTROPE lyrics

Deliver me oh my father From the down-pressor Den trying to keep I down But I will always conquer Dem trying to keep I down But I will always prosper CHORUS Got me walking on a tightrope Can't afford no way to buck my toe And as long as Babylon remains my foe I will always have hope in my soul A poor man's life don't cut no ice With so many mouth's to feed yeah And if my word ain't good enough Just take a look and see CHORUS Got me walking on a tightrope Can't afford no way to buck my toe And as long as Babylon remains my foe I will always 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 no way to buck my toe And as long as Babylon remains my foe I will always have hope in my soul From the valley of dry bones I have risen And I've got to make a chance Hang my head in the clouds with conviction Ain't no stopping now Deliver me oh my Father From the down-pressor CHORUS Got me walking on a tightrope Can't afford no way to buck my toe And as long as Babylon remains my foe I will always have hope in my soul Just can't keep me down Just can't keep me down Just can't keep me Really just can't keep me CHORUS Got me walking on a tightrope Can't afford no way to buck my toe And as long as Babylon remains my foe I will always have hope in my soul
