IÂ’ve been gone awhile away from you
And I hope you overstand
That IÂ’ve got to do what I must do
To be a better man
Cuz if I was just to act a fool, do nothing with myself
Then all my blessings would be cursed
My world would crumble in
ItÂ’s a joy when I sit down and think
Of the good times that we have
And what we do to make it through
When the good turns into bad
Well I hope youÂ’ll find it in your heart
And know these words are true
And please donÂ’t fuss because I must
Go do what I must do
A time, a space, a different place
How perfect we might be
I would be the wind that blows
YouÂ’d be that Willow tree
And I could never bear the thought of you not by my side
So I would be the warmth of day
YouÂ’d be the cool of night
And everyday I pray to Jah that one day you will see
And overstand the fact I must fulfill my destiny
I hope youÂ’ll find it in your heart and know these words are true
And please donÂ’t cry, you know that I
Must do what I must do
Hey baby donÂ’t you worry
Even though the road is rocky
IÂ’ll be coming home to you again
Cuz if you thought that I was lost
I had to bear my cross
Now IÂ’m free from all these chains
