Fly Away
Oh Jah
Help us through the stress
Oh Jah
Sometimes I feel like I would
Fly away
Where there's more love and joy
And a brighter day up
Away from the corrupted system
Find a better way
Nuh want see nuh more mother cry
Nuh want nuh more marrow fly
A just bear hand to mouth
So no money naw mek
The brinks a pass pon the main
And nuh money naw tek
To get the lute dem would a shoot out
A old woman neck
A wah gawn a wah a gawn
When yo kill the little children
A we future you a wreck
Dem a cut down Jamaica
When a higher wi fi get
Still can't pay di bills
All the hard work mi sweat
Nuff high school graduate
Nuh even find a job yet
Sometimes I feel like I would
Fly away
Where there's more love and joy
And a brighter day
Away from the corrupted system
Find a better way
Nuh want see nuh more mother cry
Nuh want see nuh more marrow fly
Homeless a roam in the streets
Hungry a look bone fi eat
Dat nuh fi gawn
An when politician a compete
Issue guns then police come fe it
Dat nuh fi gawn
A so them system set
Mi grow come see it
Jacket an tie ready fi come speak
But it's all a mind game a crying shame
How people die in vain
Mi naw vote fi it again
Sometimes I feel like I would
Fly away
Where there's more love and joy
And a brighter day
Away from the corrupted system
Find a better way
Nuh want see nuh more mother cry
Nuh want see nuh more marrow fly
Jah Jah help us through this
Help them through this
Cah nuff yute out a road a shoot
Them nuh really wann do this
But circumstances make them what they are
Help us through this jah
Help us through this
Believe me, hot head
Hey mek mi sing back the hook
Sometimes I feel like I would
Fly away
Where there's more love and joy
And a brighter day
Away from the corrupted system
Find a better way
Nuh want see nuh more mother cry
Nuh want see nuh more marrow fly
Help us through the stress
Oh Jah
Sometimes I feel like I would
Fly away
Where there's more love and joy
And a brighter day up
Away from the corrupted system
Find a better way
Nuh want see nuh more mother cry
Nuh want nuh more marrow fly
A just bear hand to mouth
So no money naw mek
The brinks a pass pon the main
And nuh money naw tek
To get the lute dem would a shoot out
