"Hey Baby (Acoustic)" lyrics - STEPHEN MARLEY
Hey baby don't you worry
Even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
Cuz if you thought that I was lost
I had to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
I'll be gone awhile away from you
And I hope you overstand
That I've got to do what I must do
To be a better man
'Cause if I was just to act a fool
Do nothing with myself
Then all my blessings would be cursed
My world would crumble in
It's a joy when I sit down and think
Of the good times that we have
And what we do to make it through
When the good turns to the bad
Well I hope you find it in your heart and know these words are true
And please don't fuss because I must go do what I must do
Hey baby don't you worry
Even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
Cuz if you thought that I was lost
I had to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
A time, a space
A different place
How perfect we might be
I would be the wind that blows
You'd be that willow tree
And I could never bear the thought
Of you not by my side
So I would be the warmth of day
You'd be the cool of night
And everyday I pray to Jah
That one day you will see
And overstand the fact I must
Fulfill my destiny
I hope you find it in your heart
And know these words are true
And please don't cry
You know that I must do what I must do
Hey baby don't you worry
Even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
Cuz if you thought that I was lost
I had to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
Well, and it's not easy
Jah knows how I try, I try
So don't you get weary
Jah knows how I try, I try
[Mos Def:]
God knows
Life is one big road
With a lot of signs and turns and twists and curves
Even though the road is rocky
My main thing's to rock and keep on rockin
From city to city, backyard to yard
And we be seeing the sights
Standing under the lights
And the spot is hot, it' s cold and lonely at night
And I'm 'feenin' and I'm dreaming and I'm holding you tight
But hold on, every single road I roll on
Comes to an end and I'm back home again
So baby please don't cry
There's no valley low, and there's no mountain high
And our love don't die with the passage of time
It just grows more
And just keep strong
And even though I'm gone, I am never too far
You're the light thru the dark shining right thru my heart
So my journey must start
Hey baby don't you worry
Even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
Cuz if you thought that I was lost
I had to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
Cuz if you thought that I was lost
I had to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
