Shine on my way
chorus:
Take me away, them false prophets want to lead I astray.
I beg you father shine on my way
I say, thy name shall be praised. Thy name shall be praised (x 2)
Life about here is inhuman. Babylon is no place for a man,
Who doesn't workship illusion, who believes in truth and love and in the Almighty One.
They pressurise you from yourself all day long, give you bad
Influence until your eyes ears and your heart lock down
They lead you from the right road right into confusion
And when you speak up, all of them mock at you and take it for fun,
Well, the truth they take for fun.
Jah, Jah hear my song.
chorus
Them all workship illusion.
Long time I've thought I could have changed their plan, but me
I gave in because they don't want no change to be done.
To live at the expense of the poor - that, I just can't stand, -
That, I just don't want. that's why I leave this land.
I want to rule my destiny; I don't want to put in their hand.
oh Jah, take me away from babylon civilization, 'cause they steal the power from I-man.
Jah, Jah hear my song.
