if you don’t know
how to get by
get to know yourself
got to look inside
if you don’t know
how to get by
reach out to your heart
make it time
it ain’t easy my friend
what a rocky road
just trying to meet the ends
why is it so hard my friend
in this yah life so unjust
how could you know whom to trust
a system covered with rust
reach mount zion is a must
but if you never know
how to get by
get to know yourself
got to look inside
if you don’t know
how to get by
reach out to your heart
make it time
and you’ll never know
how to stand tall in this misery, oh Lord
if you ain’t got love to grow all around
despite dem a trickery, oh no now
yes you’ll never know
before you feel di mighty spirit heal thee
pon this hard rocky road
you haffi liberate
and love the life you live today
it’s been a long struggle now
so many things to be done
one more battle to be won
can you hear the trumpet sound?
from the deepest of waters
up to the highest of skies
light shall be the highest power
blessings shall multiply
if you don’t know
how to get by
get to know yourself
got to look inside, yes
if you don’t know
how to get by
reach out to your heart
make it time
you still never know
how to walk out of disya misery, oh Lord
if you ain’t got love to show everyone
and rejoice in the mystery around
did you ever know and feel
di mighty spirits dem a dwell within, seen
upon this hard rocky road
there is a getaway
if you’re a brave soul every day
it’s a rocky road (me seh)
what a heavy load
so many lost souls
ain’t got no payroll
and despite the crisis,
any kinds of surprises
I-man still a give the Ises
grateful for all the chances
