feel like I'm on the ground
but one day, one great day
I'm heading for the surface, moving towards the light
defeating all the odds, taking control of my life
heading for the surface, moving towards the light
defeating all the odds, taking control of my life
Now have yuh eva walked ah mile and then end up ah yuh starting place?
have yuh eva thought yuh tasted victory,
but yuh was last in place
trying to scratch di surface, have a lot more to reach the sky
still, yuh have to count your victories
though the great one, yet inside
used to backlash and rejects
bounce back like condition reflex
laugh in di face of stress
stay strong cause, mi ah God bless
I'm heading for the surface, moving towards the light
defeating all the odds, taking control of my life
heading for the surface, moving towards the light
defeating all the odds, taking control of my life
dem seh faith move mountain
jah know, yuh need di same faith fi climb it
smile deh pon mi face but, there is ah big frown behind it
nuff time mi feel mi woulda throw down
mi burden and guh lay down pon di cold ground
but jah neva give ah man more dan wha him can bare
mi anger mi av fi hold down
I'm heading for the surface, moving towards the light
defeating all the odds, taking control of my life
heading for the surface, moving towards the light
defeating all the odds, taking control of my life
taking control of my life
feel like I'm on the ground
upsetta, yuh don know this from jamaica
moving towards the light)
im just taking control of my life
