Tightrope Songtext
Deliver me oh my father
From the downpressers
Set me free
Dem a trying to keep I down
But I will always prosper
Dem a trying to keep I down
But I will always, whoa no
Got me walking on a tightrope
Can′t afford to buck my toe
And as long as Babylon is my foe
I will have hope in my soul
A poor man's life don′t cut no ice
With so many mouths to feed
And if my word ain't good enough
Just take a look and see
Got me walking on a tightrope
Can't afford to buck my toe
And as long as Babylon is my foe
I will 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
Got me walking on a tightrope
Can't afford to buck my toe
And as long as Babylon is my foe
I will have hope in my soul
From the valley of dry bones I have risen
And I′ve got to make a change
Hang my head in the clouds with conviction
Ain't no stopping now
Deliver me oh my father
Got me walking on a tightrope
Can′t afford to buck my toe
And as long as Babylon is my foe
I will have hope in my soul
Just can't keep me down
Just can′t keep me down
Just can't keep me down
Really just can't keep me
Got me walking on a tightrope
Never never say die
Reach the mountain high!
Never never say die
Never never say die
Never never say die
Reach the mountain high!
Walking on a tightrope
Walking on a tightrope
From the downpressers
Set me free
Dem a trying to keep I down
But I will always prosper
Dem a trying to keep I down
But I will always, whoa no
Got me walking on a tightrope
Can′t afford to buck my toe
And as long as Babylon is my foe
I will have hope in my soul
A poor man's life don′t cut no ice
With so many mouths to feed
And if my word ain't good enough
Just take a look and see
Got me walking on a tightrope
Can't afford to buck my toe
And as long as Babylon is my foe
I will 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
Got me walking on a tightrope
Can't afford to buck my toe
And as long as Babylon is my foe
I will have hope in my soul
From the valley of dry bones I have risen
And I′ve got to make a change
Hang my head in the clouds with conviction
Ain't no stopping now
Deliver me oh my father
Got me walking on a tightrope
Can′t afford to buck my toe
And as long as Babylon is my foe
I will have hope in my soul
Just can't keep me down
Just can′t keep me down
Just can't keep me down
Really just can't keep me
Got me walking on a tightrope
Never never say die
Reach the mountain high!
Never never say die
Never never say die
Never never say die
Reach the mountain high!
Walking on a tightrope
Walking on a tightrope
