Hey Baby
Marley Stephen Lyrics

I've been gone awhile away from you
I've been away from you for some time

And I hope you overstand
I hope you understand

That I've got to do what I must do
I have to do what I need to do

To be a better man
To improve as a person

Cuz if I was to just to act a fool
If I were to act irresponsibly

Do nothing with myself
Be lazy and unproductive

Then all my blessings would be cursed
All the good things I have would turn bad

My world would crumble in
Everything around me would fall apart

It's a joy when I sit down and
I enjoy thinking about

Think of the good times that we have
Remembering the happy moments we shared

And what we do to make it through
Remembering how we got through tough times

When the good turns to the bad
When happy times become difficult

Well I hope you'll find it in your heart
I hope you can understand

And know these words are true
That these words are honest

And please don't fuss
Please don't get upset

Because I must go do what I must do
Because I have to do what I need to do

Hey baby don't you worry
Don't worry, my love

Even though the road is rocky
Even though the journey is difficult

I'll be coming home to you again
I will come back to you

Cuz if you thought that I was lost
If you thought I was gone forever

I had to bare my cross
I had to endure my struggles

Now I'm free from all these Chains
Now I'm free from my burdens

A time, a space, a different place
Different times, different locations

How perfect we might be
How wonderful we could be

I would be the wind that blows
I would be the breeze

You'd be that willow tree
You would be the strong, stable one in our relationship

And I could never bare the thought of you not by my side
I couldn't bear the idea of being without you

So I would be the warmth of day
I would be the sunshine

You'd be the cool of night
You would be the calming and comforting presence

And everyday I pray to Jah that one day you will see
Every day I pray that someday you will understand

And overstand the fact I must fulfill my destiny
And understand that I must follow my path

I hope you'll find it in your heart and know these words are true
I hope you can believe and understand that I mean what I say

And please don't cry
And please don't be sad

Cuz you know that I must do what I must do
Because you know I have to do what I need to do

Well and it's not easy
It's not simple

Jah knows how I try, I try
I am doing my best, but it's difficult

So don't you get weary
So don't become discouraged

God knows
The divine knows

Life is one big road
Life is a long journey

With alot of signs and turns & twists and curves
With many obstacles and changes

My main thing's to rock and keep on rockin'
I want to keep going and stay strong

From city to city
Travelling from place to place

Backyard to yard
From one location to another

And we be seein' the sights, standin' under the lights
Experiencing new things, soaking up the excitement

And the spot is hot, it's cold and lonely at night
Sometimes it's thrilling, but at times it can be lonely and difficult

And I'm feenin' and I'm dreamin' and I'm holding you tight
I'm longing for you and holding on to the idea of being with you

But hold on, every single road I roll on
But hold on, every path I take

Comes to an end and I'm back home again
Ends and I return home

So baby please don't cry, there's no valley low and there's no mountain high
So please don't be sad, there's nothing too difficult to overcome

And our love don't die with the passage of time
Our love remains strong over time

It just grows more,
It just becomes stronger

And just keep strong
And keep staying strong

And even though I'm gone, I am never too far
Even when I'm away, I'm still thinking of you and near to your heart

You're the light through the dark, shining right through my heart
You are the beacon of hope in tough times, illuminating my heart

So my journey must start
So my journey continues
