To my son
Hope it won't be long till we get it right
All dem nights we were alone tryna get it right
We'll put up a fight
I've heard them all sell a dream
And kill self-esteem
These powers and regimes
They bring more pain and disease
With no cure reliefs I'm good feeling free
With the rivers and the sun and the trees
With the spirits out there humbling me
Baby won't you save some loving for me
You know the rules of the birds and the bees
I'll tell you where they want me to be
Trapped in my minds without any keys
But I found a passion for the roots and the seeds
For our history and all in between
Hope it won't be long till we get it right
There's a tunnel but I see the light
All them nights we were alone tryna get it right
We'll put up a fight
And they won't break our spirit when we're feeling alive
Redemption and freedom gives me reason to survive
Jah guide and protect me
Babylon have no mercy
The king of kings give me strength
And power now some of dem are not worthy
All this time it's been nothing but a war
Bodies dropping who's keeping score?
History done shown us we been here before
Yet there's still so much pain we endure
Let my brother stay alive
Let my sister keep her smile
Hope my family still around when I pass it to my child
Let my nephew live his dreams
Lord keep his heart clean
Let him shine through this life
Firm strong and free
I'll tell you where they want we to be
Trapped in my minds without any keys
But I found a passion for the roots and the seeds
For our history and all in between
Hope it won't be long till we get it right
There's a tunnel but I see the light
All them nights we were alone tryna get it right
We'll put up a fight
And they won't break our spirit when we're feeling alive
Redemption and freedom gives me reason to survive
Jah guide and protect me
Babylon have no mercy
The king of kings give me strength and light
Some of dem are not worthy
Hope it won't be long till we get it right
There's a tunnel but I see the light
All them nights we were alone tryna get it right
We'll put up a fight
And they won't break our spirit when we're feeling alive
Redemption and freedom gives me reason to survive
Hope it won't be long till we get it right
There's a tunnel but I see the light
All them nights we were alone tryna get it right
We'll put up a fight
And they won't break our spirit when we're feeling alive
Redemption and freedom gives me reason to survive
