My woman is gone, my woman is gone

She had left me a note, hanging on my door
she say she couldn't take it she couldn't
take any more
the pressure around me, just couldn't see
she felt like a prisoner, who needs to be free
fools have tried, wisemen have failed
oh listen to me honey, life could never be
another jail
still we know now, we'll never see smoke without fire
and everyone you see, has a heart desire

She's gone, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone
oh mocking bird have you ever heard,
words that i never heard (repeat)

She made thru the exit, she just couldn't take it
she made thru the exit, she just couldn't make it
oh my children, if you see me crying
my woman is gone
if you see me, if you see me, if you see me, if you
see me crying (repeat)

She's gone, she's gone, she's gone yeah!
oh mocking bird have you ever heard
words that i never heard (repeat)
she's gone, she's gone, she's gone

Misty Morning don't see no sun
I know you're out there somewhere, Having fun
There is one mystery, I just can't express
To give you more, to recive your less
One of my good friends said, In a reggae rhythm,
don't jump in the water, If you can't swim
The power of philosophy, floats thru my head
you're light like a feather, heavy as lead

The time has come, I want you
I want you to straighten out my tomorrow
I want, I want, I want
I want you to starighten out my tomorrow

Misty morning, don't see no sun
know you're out there some where, having fun
mysteries, I just can't express
how could you ever give more to recive your less
like my good friend said in a reggae rhythm
you can't jump in the water, if you can't swim

I want you, I want you to straighten out my today
my tomorrow, I want you to straighten out my tomorrow

On a misty morning, I want you to straighten out my
tomorrow, I want you to straighten out my tomorrow

They say the sun, shines for all
But in some people world, it never shine at all
They say love is a stream, that will find its course
Some people life is a dream
So they making matters worse

But no matter what the crisis is (repeat)
Doing it, doing it, doing your thing
Give JAH all the thanks and praises
Giving it, giving it, giving it
Give JAH all the thanks and praises

So much have been said, so little been done
They still killing, killing the people
And they having, having, having lots of fun
Killing the people, having their fun
They just want to be the leader
In the house of the rising sun

But no matter what the crisis is (repeat)
Do your, live it up, live it up, live it up
Give JAH all the thanks and praises
Live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up
Give JAH all the thanks and praises

They say the sun, shines for all
But in some people's world, it never shines at all
They say love is a stream, that will find its course,
And every river runs to sea
Some people still think life is a dream
So they making matters worse

No matter what the crisis is (repeat)
Do it, live it up, live it up, live it up
Give JAH all the thanks and praises
Live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up
Give JAH all the thanks and praises (repeat)
His mercies endureth for ever yeah
Give JAH all the thanks and praises (repeat)
Oh children, come and give JAH
Give JAH all the thanks and praises (repeat)

You running and you running
And you running away (repeat)

You running and you running
But you can't run away from yourself
Can't runaway from yourself,
Can't runaway from yourself,
Can't runaway from yourself (repeat)

You must have done,
Something wrong (repeat)
Why you can't find the
Place where you belong
Running away, running away,
Running away (repeat)

Every man thinketh his
Burden is the heaviest (repeat)
But who feels it knows it Lord
Who feels it knows it Lord,
Who feels it knows it Lord

You running and you running
And you running away (repeat)

You running and you running
But you can't runaway from yourself,
Could you runaway from yourself,
Can you runaway from yourself
Can't runaway from yourself,
Can't runaway from yourself

You must have done, something,
Something, something something,
Something, you don't want nobody to
Know about, you must have ... Lord.
Something wrong you must have done,
You must have done, something wrong
Why you can't find where you belong

Well, well, well, you running away,
Running away, no, no, no,
I'm not running away, don't say that
Don't say that, cause I'm not running away
I've got to protect my life,
And I don't want to live with no strife
It is better to live on the house top
Than to live in a house full of confusion
So, I made my decision and I left you
Now you coming to tell me
That I'm running away
But it's not true,
I am not running away

JAH would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread

Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell

Back them up, oh not the brothers
But the ones, who set them up

Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell

Oh children weep no more
Oh my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree
Saw you settle the score
Oh children weep no more
Weep no more, children weep no more

JAH would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread

Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell

Feeling now, feeling down
This feeling wouldn't leave me alone
Then I came, the one that said
Hey Dread, fly Natty Dread

And smile (In Jamaica)
Want you to smile (In Jamaica)
Get it to together right now (In Jamaica)
Get things together right now (In Jamaica)

Soulful town, roots people
Said I see that you're having fun
Rockin' to the roots man rocker
Oh island in the sun

Oh Oh (In Jamaica)
Want you get it together (In Jamaica)
Get this together right now (In Jamaica)
Get this together right now (In Jamaica)

Help the children, help them right
Oh lord help them decide
Cast away that evil spell
Throw some water in the well

Well well well well (In Jamaica)
C'mon and smile (In Jamaica)
Get things together right now (In Jamaica)
Get it together right now (In Jamaica)

Dry your tears, have no fears
Fly Natty Dread
Fly Natty Dread

Help, help, help us tonight
Cast away that evil spell
Throw some water in the well

Feeling now, feeling down
This feeling wouldn't leave me alone
Then it came, the one that said
Hey Dread, Fly Natty Dread

Dry your tears, have no fears
Fly Natty Dread

In Jamaica...
