lyrics

Down in the valley
The one man hafi cross ina me lifetime
Down in the valley
Expect nothing yet my hopes are so high
Yes my hopes are so high
Inspired straight by the Most High
For it is just one time
Man a lay me foot upon the ground
For it is just one time
Space and time no give no second try, no
These are the laws of the most I
I&I feel much obliged,
Fi always do your best and let Jah control the rest

For no one a born for the suffering
Now dis ya cycle hafi breakdown hafi cease
Me generation look inside yourself if you please
Fi see who seh you must live all your life on your knees
Reason yourself out of sorrow
For the children of tomorrow
It is from them the Earth you borrow
Down in the valley
The one man hafi cross ina me lifetime
Down in the valley
Expect nothing yet my hopes are so high
Yes my hopes are so high
Inspired straight by the Most High
Preserve your soul,
Jah me compass through the valley
Fi cross the pass between fear and love in all humility
Never indulge in your ego with vanity
I&I are the soul rebels as I would say…
Down in the valley from morning to dark
Man a down in the valley from morning to dark
Melodies and words of love I sing in I song,
Man a down in the valley from morning to dark
See me tribe a lions fi trample the dragon
Ma a sing a song and all di serpents a gone
For a very long still you nah come see we down
Man a down in the valley from morning to…
Reason yourself out of sorrow,
For the children of tomorrow,
Down in the valley…
For it is just one time
Man a lay me foot upon the ground
For it is just one time
Space and time no give no second try, no
These are the laws of the most I
I&I feel much obliged,
Fi always do your best and let Jah control the rest
For no one a born for the suffering
Now dis ya cycle hafi breakdown hafi cease
Me generation look inside yourself if you please
Fi see who seh you must live all your life on your knees
Reason yourself out of sorrow
For the children of tomorrow
It is from them the Earth you borrow
Down in the valley

The one man hafi cross ina me lifetime
Down in the valley
Expect nothing yet my hopes are so high
Yes my hopes are so high
Inspired straight by the Most High
Preserve your soul,
Jah me compass through the valley
Fi cross the pass between fear and love in all humility
Never indulge in your ego with vanity
I&I are the soul rebels as I would say…
Down in the valley from morning to dark
Man a down in the valley from morning to dark
Melodies and words of love I sing in I song,
Man a down in the valley from morning to dark
See me tribe a lions fi trample the dragon
Ma a sing a song and all di serpents a gone
For a very long still you nah come see we down
Man a down in the valley from morning to…
Reason yourself out of sorrow,
For the children of tomorrow,
Down in the valley…
