Besedila: Steel Pulse. Tight Rope.

Deliver me, oh, my father
From the downpressers
Set me free

Dem a trying to keep I down
I will always prosper, yes
Dem a trying to keep I down
Walking on a tight rope
I will always

Got me walking, walking on a tight rope
Can't afford to buck my toe, no
As long as Babylon, Babylon is my foe
I will have hope in my soul

Poor man's life don't cut no ice
With so many mouths to feed
And if my word ain't, ain't good enough
Just, just take a look and see

Get me walking, walking on a tight rope
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 that clutches a straw
Might think he's got no chance, no
The will of Jah can pull him through
He's a helping hand, you got that

Get me walking, walking on a tight rope
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
Got to make a change
Hang my head in the clouds with conviction
Ain't no stopping now
Deliver me, oh, my father

Walking on a tight rope
Can't afford, no, can't afford, no way, never buck my toe
And as long as Babylon remains my foe
I will have hope in my soul

Just can't keep me down, no
Just can't keep me down, no way
Just can't keep me down, ooh
Just can't keep me, really just can't keep me

Got me walking, walking on a tight rope
Never, never say die, reach the mountain high
Never, never say die, never, never say die
Never, never say die, reach the mountain high

Walking on a tight rope
Walking on a tight rope
