Dieting Songtext
von Gregory Isaacs

Lord

Lord

I sit and wonder have I sinned
As I partake of my dieting, yeah
Just to know that every day, oh yea7h
My whole life depend on a food tray, yeah
An happy day, a night of pain
I wonder when this a-term will end
Cos I′m a man and I've got to go
I don′t know when I'm gonna get parole
But I'm a-one day
I′m a-one day
Yes, I′m a-one day
One day closer to home
One day closer to home


The place in which that I dwell, Lord knows
Was just an old iron gate in hell, yeah
But still I survive
The foolish man always build strife
Nuh want no baton stick come bruk me bone
The worldly man, leave me alone

Cos I'm a man and I′ve got to go
I don't know when I′m gonna get parole
But I'm a-one day
I′m a-one day
Yes, I'm a-one day
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home

Uunh
One day closer to home


I sit and wonder have I sinned, Lord God
As I partake of my dieting
Hurts to know that every day, every long day
My whole life depend on a food tray
An happy day, a night of pain
I wonder when this a-term will end
Cos I'm a man and I′ve got to go
I don′t know when I'm gonna get parole
But I′m a-one day
I'm a-one day
I′m a-one day
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
To home
I need, aah
To home
One day closer to home
