Tight Rope Lyrics - Steel Pulse: Smash Hits - Steel Pulse

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
