Tight Rope lyrics with English Translations
Deliver me oh my Father;
From the downpressers, set me free!
Dem a trying to keep I down, But I will always prosper, yes I. Dem a trying to keep I down, But I will always.. woo-noo!
Got me walking, walking on a tightrope, Can't afford to buck my toe, no! And as long as Babylon, 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.
Got me walking, walking on a tightrope, Can't afford to buck my toe, no! And as long as Babylon, 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.
Got me walking, walking on a tightrope, Can't afford to buck my toe, no! And as long as Babylon, 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. Oh deliver me, oh my Father!
Got me walking, on a tightrope, Can't afford to buck my toe, no! And as long as Babylon is my foe now, 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.
Got me walking on a tightrope, Never, never say die. Reach the mountain high!
Dem a trying to keep I down, But I will always prosper, yes I. Dem a trying to keep I down, But I will always.. woo-noo!
Got me walking, walking on a tightrope, Can't afford to buck my toe, no! And as long as Babylon, 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.
Got me walking, walking on a tightrope, Can't afford to buck my toe, no! And as long as Babylon, 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.
Got me walking, walking on a tightrope, Can't afford to buck my toe, no! And as long as Babylon, 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. Oh deliver me, oh my Father!
Got me walking, on a tightrope, Can't afford to buck my toe, no! And as long as Babylon is my foe now, 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.
Got me walking on a tightrope, Never, never say die. Reach the mountain high!
