Again, again

Their wars could not hold I (ooh)
So they had to turn me loose, yeah (ooh)

How in Jah world could this be?
They have no, no idea what they have done to me, no
Some may think it's a mystery
But I thank Jah, the day I man walk free and

Yes, mi friend, mi good friend
We deh pon street again
Again, again, again

Ten years, trial and trail
Clean and pure heart make man prevail
For my freedom, ah you put up di bail
No man deh ah road, shout it pon di main
Prayers wasn't few
Many candles burnin' through the night (yeah, oii)
And the tears my loved ones shed
God, Himself, heard their cries, yeah
Countless days and nights
With no sunlight in front mine eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Many criticize, ooh
I say, what is the difference between the fool and the wise?
I'm crying

Yes, mi friend (oh, I know, I know, I know, I), mi good friend
We deh pon street again (oh, oh, oh, let me tell you)
And yes, my friend, my friend
Indeed, dem set me free again
Again, again

The bars could not hold me, brotha no (ooh)
Therefore, they had to turn man loose, yeah (ooh)
The words could not control me (ooh)
So they had to turn me loose (ooh)
Brotha, tell dem

Yes, mi friend, mi good friend
We deh pon street again
Again, again, again (oh)
Yes, my friend (yes my friend, my friend, my friend)
Mi friend, mi friend
Dem set we free again
