Na na na naaa na na woah oh woahh

Na na na naaa na na

A word from the wise

Dont try to make life on your own

Remember that jah jahs 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 uh

Guns and ammunition were my chosen way of life

With god 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

Im still mindful of what he taught me

So now I beg and plead Im on my bending knees

Cause father you rescued me

Ive got the scars to show

I barely made it along lifes road

Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark

He was 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 I drens all around

From corner to colour and corner

From rockers to jungle turf tire

Rising to dread heights and river all around yeah

And then the football ground became a battlefield

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 Im on my bending knees

Cause father you rescued me

And Ive got the scars to show

Barely made it along lifes road

Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark

The light at the end of the road oh oh

Never lived to please him

I never lived like I should

Oh oh oh oh oh

Father you rescued me oh yeah oh yeah

Ive lived and Ive learned

Ive 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 Im living proof

Living proof that crime doesnt pay

For I never lived like he wanted

I was mindful of what he taught me

So now I beg and plead Im on my bending knees

Cause father he rescued me

And Ive got the scars to show

I barely made it along lifes road

Cause when my life got dark he was 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 Im on my bending knees

Cause father you rescued me

And Ive got the scars to show

I barely made it along lifes road

Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark

The light at the end of the road

Though I never lived like he wanted

I was mindful of what he taught me

Im on my bending knees I ask the father please

Father you rescued me

And Ive got the scars to show

Barely made it along lifes road

As my life got dark he was the only spark

The light at the end of the road

I never lived never lived

I never lived the way he wanted me to

I never lived lord I tell you

Now Im practising my religion
