Red Red Ground

Verse 1

Another long day mi come through the door

Dust pon mi shoes and mi body sore

Work all day just fi pay what mi owe

Night come down and mi don't know where fi go

So mi pour one drink just fi ease mi mind

Tell myself tomorrow everything go fine

But when the room get quiet and the night grow long

Mi hear that little voice saying something wrong

Pre-Chorus

Work drink sleep

Then do it again

Now mi wonder where the young man in me gone

Chorus

The one who used to believe

Tomorrow would come

The one who used to believe

Tomorrow would come

Verse 2

Mi remember red earth after heavy rain

Old people talking underneath the flame

Mama say son don't lose yourself out there

Now I wonder if she knew how much I fear

Because mi work drink sleep then do it again

Smile in the daylight hide the sorrow within

Mi have a home mi have people who care

Still sometimes mi feel like mi ain't really there

Pre-Chorus

What am I doing

With this life of mine

Running from tomorrow one night at a time

Chorus

I don't need riches

I don't need fame

I just want to wake up and know why I came

I just want to wake up and know why I came

Bridge

Maybe the answer ain't far away

Maybe I just need to change one thing today

I can't fix everything before the morning light

But I can tell myself the truth tonight

Chorus

So if Jah wake me when the morning come

I won't promise I will change all at once

But before I reach for that bottle again

I'll take one step my friend

One more morning let me try again

One more morning let me rise again

I don't know where this road is gonna end

But Jah give me morning I'll try again

Outro

So mi close mi eyes and let the night roll on

Hear the distant rain before the dawn

Tomorrow got no promise that much I know

But if Jah give me morning

I'll have somewhere to go
