Hey Baby

(альбом: Mind Control - 2007)

[Verse 1: Stephen Marley]
I've been gone a while away from you when 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 had
And what we do to make it through when the good turns to the bad
Well I hope you'll find it in your heart to know these words are true
And please don't fuss because I must go do what I must do

[Chorus: Stephen Marley]
Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
If you thought that I was lost,
I had to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains

[Verse 2: Stephen Marley]
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

[Chorus: Stephen Marley]
Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
If you thought that I was lost,
I had to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains

[Bridge: Stephen Marley (Mos Def)]
Well then it's not easy,
Jah knows how I try, I try
So don't you get weary (Oh God)
Jah knows how I try, I try

[Verse 3: Mos Def]
And God knows, that life is one big road
With a lot of signs and turns and twist and curves
Even though the road is rocky
But maintain the ride and keep on rocking
From city to city, backyard to yard
And we be seeing the sights and standing under the lights
And the spot is hot it's cold and lonely at nights
And I'm feenin and I'm dreaming and I'm holding you tight
But hold on, every single road I rode on
Comes to an end and I'm back home again
So baby please don't cry
It's no valley low and it's no mountain high
And our love don't die with the passage of time
It just grow more, it just keep strong
And even though I'm gone I ain't moving too far
You're the light through the dark shining right through my heart
So my journey just start

[Chorus: Stephen Marley]
Hey baby don't you worry, even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
If you thought that I was lost,
I had to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains

[Outro: Stephen Marley]
And if you thought that I was lost,
I have to bear my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
