Groundation - If I

Hello dear people, what are you waiting for, yea?
Move yourself now and get out of door
So you say, this is a price for peace
Weeping and wailing oh God, and mashing of teeth

If I were to fly, high, upon a wing of a dove now, yea
Will you come join me, yea, and sail away the day?
We would see Jah fallen of the wicked man
Leaving only righteousness to stand
Rock solid 'pon the land

And if I were to leave tomorow
Would that make you stronger for today?
If I were to bend down on my knees and pray
Would that make you say
"He's no longer a gifted soul
No, he's no longer a warrior
He doesn't care about the flock, no
He doesn't even care who gets burned"
Well I'm a gonna tell you something

Only goal, lock I in poverty, yes
Or to keep us down, I know, inna general penitentiary
Education is no where to be found
So when they jump in the water
They will surely drown

But if I were to fly, high, upon a wing of a dove now, yea
Will you come join me, yea, and sail away the day?
We would see Jah fallen of the wicked man
Leaving only righteousness to stand
Rock solid 'pon the land

And if I were to leave tomorow
Would that make you stronger for today?
And if I were to bend down on my knees and pray
Would that make you say
"He's no longer a gifted soul
For he's no longer a warrior
He doesn't care about the flock, no
He doesn't even care who gets burned"
Well I'm a gonna tell you something

(..)

Well now, well now
And if I were to leave tomorow
Would that make you stronger for today?
And if I were to bend down on my knees and pray
Would that make you say
"He's no longer a gifted soul
For he's no longer a warrior
He doesn't care about the flock, no
He doesn't even care who gets burned"
Well I'm a gonna tell you something

If I yea, If I could, you know I would
If I had, If I could, you know I would fly away..
