I Know Lyrics

[Intro]
Wo, man, there you are!

[Verse 1]
When the race gets hard to run
It means you just can't take the pace
When it's time to have your fun
You find the tears run on down through your face
Then you stop and think a little
Are you the victim of the system?
Anyday now they gone let you down
Remember, Natty will be there
To see you through

[Verse 2]
(I) And is it good to know (know) now
Jah will be waiting there
(I) won't it doggone good to know (know) , you all
Jah will be waiting there
Wait in Summer, wait in Spring
Wait in Autumn, Winter thing
(Tribe) goes up, all the tribe goes down
Bring my children from the end of the earth


[Verse 3]
Many a time I sit and wonder why
This race so - so very hard to run
Then I say to my soul: take courage
Battle to be won
Like a ship that's tossed and driven
Battered by the angry sea, yea-eah!
Say the tide of time was raging
Don't let the fury fall on me, no, no!
[Outro]
(I) Cause I know (know) -know
Jah will be waiting there
(I) Ain't it good to know (know) now
Jah will be waiting there. Wo-oo-o-oo-o! Ooh, yeah!
Lost and found, who speak I give
Lost and found, who speak I give
Speak I give, lost and found
Lost and found, who speak I give
Lost and found, who speak I give

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
