I woke up at night
Left my sleeping baby
I say something must not be right
'Cause I don't wanna leave her away
We're walking in lines
Wearing uniforms now
I'm giving you my sweet lifetime
Just to make your big wheel turn
Oh tomorrow
Such a hard thing fi gain
I got to know wah gwaan right now
Cause I'm tired of playing your game
I got to be myself
And not the one you want me to be right now
So if I got to build back my place
Stone after stone me go do it
Tell the truth to the people out there
Our life is a gift from creation
Give your life to the present day
Don't sell it to the big corporations
Get up and get it back
Spread it all over,
Soul work taking over
Get it back cause the whole thing haffi get on its track
My brother come down and hold on your position
All together we gonna walk the talk
We gonna break away the chains of oppression I say
Fool pride they wan' put in my brain
But I won't give it a chance to be
Oh oh my soul knows how fi make it work
Me nah go forget why me got to live
No badda think them ah go fix we
With the same lame tool they try ah break we down
Rise up my fire let it conquer me
And good God carry me home
Got to do my soul work
Want to know the reason why me came to earth
Soul work I got to make it work
Tell the truth to the people out there
Our life is a gift from creation
Give your life to the present day
Don't sell it to the big corporation
Get up and get it back
Spread it all over,
Soul work taking over
Spread it all over,
Soul work taking over
Woke up with the morning lights
With my pretty baby
Gratitude has covered my life
And I know it will cover my day hey
The garden grows fine nothing uniform at all
The more that I give of mine is the more I get in return
