Nana nana, nana.
Nana nana, nana.

A word from the wise,
Don't try to make life on your own.
Remember that Jah Jah's by your side,
For I was a soul, who was lost,
And my life was in dismay,
For among evil forces in which I played, yeah.
Guns and ammunition, were my chosen way of life,
With God's fearing people I chose to strive.
For all of the lives that are taken,
They can never be replaced,
But still Jah Jah chose to remember my face.

Though I never lived like He wanted,
Am still mindful of what He taught me.
So now I beg and plead, am on my bending knees,
'Cause Father you rescued me.
I've got the scars to show,
I barely made it along life's road. 'Cause when my life got dark, you was the only spark,
You were the light at the end of the road.

When I was a young boy, growing up in August Town,
We ate from the same pot, we were Idrens all around.
From corner to colour and corner,
From rockers to jungle turf tire.
Rising to dreadhieghts and river all around,
And then the football ground became a battle field,
And my life seem so surreal.
People were falling all around,
But Jah helped me to stand my ground,
Only Jah, only Jah, could have helped me to stand my ground.

Though I never lived like He wanted,
I was mindful of what He taught me.
So now I beg and plead, am on my bending knees,
'Cause Father you rescued me,
And I've got the scars to show,
Barely made it along life's road.
'Cause when my life got dark, you were the only spark,
The light at the end of the road.

Never lived to please Him, I never lived like I should.
Ohhhhhhoooh, Father you rescued me, yeah yeah.

I've lived and I've learned,
I have made mistakes along the way.
now I beg for forgiveness,
Each day as I try to pray.
So take it from me son,
You can change the world today.
And I am living proof,
Living proof that crime doesn't pay.

Though I never lived like He wanted,
I was mindful of what He taught me.
So now I beg and plead, am on my bending knees,
'Cause Father you rescued me,
And I've got the scars to show,
Barely made it along life's road.
'Cause when my life got dark, you were the only spark,
The light at the end of the road.

I never lived like He wanted,
I was mindful of what He taught me.
So now I beg and plead, am on my bending knees,
'Cause Father you rescued me,
And I've got the scars to show,
Barely made it along life's road.
'Cause when my life got dark, you were the only spark,
The light at the end of the road.

I never lived like He wanted,
I was mindful of what He taught me.
So now I beg and plead, am on my bending knees,
'Cause Father you rescued me,
And I've got the scars to show,
Barely made it along life's road.
As my life got dark, you were the only spark,
The light at the end of the road.
