Looking for a chance to get out and to break free,
Yuh jus' want a likkle bly to escape all of the misery.
One day merges with the next, it's a dreary drudgery.
Yuh feel like yuh fi get vex and turn to curmudgeonry.

But do not give up,
Keep the faith
Do not give in.
It looks like you're gonna lose now
But if you hold on you will win.
The Almighty God He sees the pain that you are in.
Just call on Him and await His blessing.
Don't you dare give up,
Don't you dare give in.
Dem a try fi mek yuh lose,
But God will make you win.
Don't you listen to the words downpressors are saying.
Just call on God and await His blessing.

All over the world
People's lives are shifting.
They feel like they're being forced
To conform to a system
That does not reward them
But makes them a victim
Of promises and lies
But never the real thing.
They feel like their hope is evaporating,
What they see in the mirror is quite disconcerting.
They think their voices aren't heard,
It's like their words are drowning.
But God hears every word,
Joy comes in the morning.

Still, dont' give up.
You've got to keep on fighting.
It looks like you're gonna lose,
But keep fighting, and you'll win.
The Heavenly Father sees the trouble you're in.
Have faith in Him, and await His blessing.
No badda give up,
No badda give in.
Dem a gi yuh a fight,
But with God you will win.
Nuh pay dem nuh mind wid dem naysaying.
Fight the fight alongside God,
An' nuh worry 'bout anyting.
