A year later the family moved to Denroy's homeland of Jamaica. In this period, three family members left the group. In Jamaica, Morgan Heritage began working with famed reggae producers Bobby Dixon and Lloyd James, resulting in the release of the critically acclaimed album Protect Us Jah (1997), followed by One Calling (1998), and the spiritually-inclined Don't Haffi Dread (1999). They released two albums by "The Morgan Heritage Family and Friends", and the Live in Europe! album recorded on their 2000 tour. Morgan Heritage toured in Europe again following the release of their 2001 album More Teachings... Their sixth studio album, Three in One, came out in 2003. They have released two DVD`s (Live In London and Live Over Europe 2003) with good success and "Full Circle" (2005)
There is a sibling band called L.M.S which is more hip-hop influenced without a band, that often tours with them and is a part of their family, as well as their father Denroy Morgan.
They are one of the most influential reggae bands today, returned to Jamaica and opened studio and realised 3 complilations of "Morgan Heritage Family and Friends" creating their own rhytms.
They have cooperated with most reggae bands and DJs (MCs) of today including Capleton, Luciano, Gentleman, Beres Hammond etc.

Oooh yey yea yeey
Ooooooh yeee
I'm coming home baby just hold on
Yeeah
[Verse 1:]
Oooh yey yeah yeeey
I'm coming home (yeah)
There was a time when all I wanted to do
Was the only things that mattered to me (yeeah)
But when a man and a woman builds their home
A man's gotta do what his family needs him to do
[Chorus:]
When I come home everything should be alright
So mammy hold on everything will be just fine
So when I'm coming everything should be alright
So baby hold on everything will be just fine
[Verse 2:]
Sad I know you I know you miss the day
And I know the children too
So many times I'm not far away
It's not a few that carry me through the day
It's not easy for a man to live this way
But I do that why I pray
[Chorus:]
When I come home everything should be alright
So mammy hold on everything will be just fine
So when I'm coming everything should be alright
So baby hold on everything will be just fine
[Bridge:]
Hooold on mmmmmm...
Hooold on
You've got to hoooold on
You just tell her hooold on
Eeeh
[Chorus:]
When I come home everything should be alright
So mammy hold on everything will be just fine
So when I'm coming everything should be alright
So baby hold on everything will be just fine

The song starts off with a gentle and soothing introduction that sets the tone of the track. The first verse revolves around the idea that a man's responsibility lies in providing for his family, and that he must put everything else aside to fulfill that duty. The chorus serves to reassure his wife that everything will be alright when he comes home, hence she should hold on and wait patiently for him.
The second verse delves deeper into the loneliness and isolation that the man feels when he is away from home. He expresses his understanding that his wife and children miss him, and that he relies on the thought of them to get through his days. The bridge emphasizes the importance of holding on, urging his wife to keep the faith and wait for him to come home, even though it may be difficult.
Overall, the song carries a message of love, sacrifice, and perseverance. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing, but also hope and reassurance that all will be well.
