Tight Rope Lyrics

Tight Rope lyrics

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 ... WO

    CHORUS

    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

    CHORUS

    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

    CHORUS

    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

    CHORUS

    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

    CHORUS

    Got me walking on a tightrope

    Never never say die

    Reach the mountain high!
