Very Well Songtext
von Wailing Souls

Very well, I′m leaving
Very well, I'm leaving

There comes a time in life (I′m leaving)
When every man got to find his own plan, yeah
Very well, I'm leaving
'Cause this was written (I′m leaving)
By the Master, by the Master (I′m leaving)

But while the heathen reign (very well, I'm leaving)
Trying to keep I and I down (very well, I′m leaving)
That now, oh Jah, we can't get bread (very well)
Can′t get bread, so I've got to leave

Very well, I′m leaving, oh yeah, oh yeah
Very well, I'm leaving

Forward I home, homeward I bound
Homeward I'm bound, no more turning back, I say
Forward I home, I said I′ve got to leave this place
Homeward I′m bound, oh yeah, oh yeah


Every sound of the drum you hear
It's an African beat
Every sound of the drum you hear
It′s an African beat

Very well, I'm leaving, no more turning back, I say
Very well, I′m leaving, oh yeah, oh yeah

Forward I home, homeward I bound
Homeward I'm bound, no more turning back
Forward I home, I said I′ve got to leave this place
Homeward I'm bound

There comes a time in life (I'm leaving)
When every man got to find his own plan, yeah (very well, I′m leaving)
′Cause this was written (very well, I'm leaving)
By the Master, by the Master (I′m leaving)

But while the heathen reign (very well, I'm leaving)
Trying to keep I and I down (very well, I′m leaving)
That now, oh Jah, we can't get bread
Can′t get bread, so I've got to leave

Very well I'm leaving, no more turning back, I say
Very well I′m leaving, oh yeah, oh yeah


Forward I home, homeward I bound
Homeward I′m bound, no more turning back, oh yeah
Forward I home, do you hear what the man say?
Homeward I'm bound, he said he wants to go

Every sound of the drum you hear
It′s an African beat
A do you hear what the man say?
Every sound of the drum you hear
It's an African beat, oh yeah, oh yeah

Very well, I′m leaving, no more turning back, I say
Very well I'm leaving
I′ve got to leave this place once and for all
Somehow or some other

Every sound of the drum you hear
It's an African beat (oohooh)
Forward I home, and I have been waiting too long
Homeward I'm bound, and it is time to us forward up
Forward I home, I just can′t wait no longer
Homeward I′m bound, too much of fooling around

Every sound of the drum you hear
It's an African beat, (ooh waah, ooh waah, wah)
Every sound of the drum you hear
It′s an African beat (waah, waah)

Very well, I'm leaving, no more turning back, no more turning back
Very well, I′m leaving, watch that
Forward I home, do you hear what my brother say?
Homeward I'm bound, he said he wants to go home
Forward I home, because a-homeward I′m bound
Homeward I'm bound
