Sometimes I know we be stuck in our ways
Born alone and die alone, can't cry about no pain
Good deeds are counted and measured and weighed
Heavy load, man a carry though, cyaan stop eh show dis day
Always I know in my peace lies my faith
Higher ground, man a trod a road, not a worry, no, things straight
Feelings and people, like seasons, they change
Fyah bun when I'm around, Mount Zion, oh

I know that Jah Jah will be there for me
By my side
I know my burdens get hard to carry
Man a soldier
I know that Jah Jah will be there for me
By my side
I know my burdens get hard to carry
Still I carry my heavy load
Still I carry my heavy load
Still I carry my heavy load

Things weh deh pon mi head a carry
Jah seh mi fi let it go
Cyaan spend every day a worry
Dem ting deh affect di soul
Doh shy when yuh fi seh sorry
Talk up, mek somebody know
Love unconditionally
Dat yuh cyaan seh mi neva do
Hoping there'll be many more
Moments full of happiness
Coping with whatever thrown at me
Positively manifest
No, life nah go ever easy
Challenge deh deh every way
No, Jah nah go ever leave mi
Walk wid mi each an' every day

I know that Jah Jah will be there for me
By my side
I know my burdens get hard to carry
Man a soldier
I know that Jah Jah will be there for me
By my side
I know my burdens get hard to carry
Still I carry my heavy load
Still I carry my heavy load
Still I carry my heavy load
