(Slow, steady bass line pulses, light guitar skank)
Jah Jah, hear the cry of the humble heart
In this long road, in this weary time
Guide the steps, oh Jah
Jah Jah guide me, guide me Jah Jah, guide me
From the shadows where the enemies hide
I feel the pressure of the world on my shoulders
Walking through the valley, nowhere to run and hide
Roots man insistence standing strong in the fire
Carrying the history, the lessons of the past
Today is a burden, tomorrow feels uncertain
But I hold to the truth, hoping it will last
Biblically I seek the wisdom in the scripture
Culturally I stand, anchored in the soul
Healthily I pray, wealthily in spirit
Only Your light can make a broken man whole
Jah Jah lead me, lead me, Jah Jah lead me
Yes, Jah, You are my leader in this transit journey
As Your son, I need You to show me the way
So I can follow Your steps every single day
I alone cannot make good programs without You
Lead my way, Lord, I am lost without You
I see the struggle in this transit journey
Talking 'bout the truth, it annoys the blind
They want to stay hidden, working in the darkness
Leaving all the goodness and the light behind
They trade in the shadows, fearful of the morning
But the roots run deep, they cannot pull them out
I stand for the righteous, I stand for the message
Clearing all the whispers and the seeds of doubt
Jah Jah lead me, lead me, Jah Jah lead me
Yes, Jah, You are my leader in this transit journey
As Your son, I need You to show me the way
So I can follow Your steps every single day
I alone cannot make good programs without You
Lead my way, Lord, I am lost without You
Guide me from the snare
Guide me from the sting
In the quiet of the morning
To You, my heart I bring
Oh, guide me, Jah, guide me
Jah Jah lead me, lead me, Jah Jah lead me
Yes, Jah, You are my leader in this transit journey
As Your son, I need You to show me the way
So I can follow Your steps every single day
I alone cannot make good programs without You
Lead my way, Lord, I am lost without You
[Outro] Chanda
Jah Jah guide me, guide me, Jah Jah guide me
Keep me on the path, Lord
Through the transit journey
Jah Jah guide me
(Fade out with steady bass and echo)
