August town lyrics

Na Na Na Naaa Na Na Woah oh Woahh

Na Na Na Naaa Na Na

A word from the wise

don't try to make life on your own

remember that jah jah's by your side

for i was a soul who lost

and my life was in dismay

for amongst evil forces in which i played

guns and ammunition

were my chosen way of life

with God fearin people i choose to strife

for all of the lives that are taken

they can never be replaced

but still jah jah chose to remember my face

though i never lived like he wanted

i'm still mindful of what he taught me

so now i beg and plea

i'm on my bended knees

God father u rescue me

and i've got the scars to show

i barely made it along life's road

cause when my life got dark he was the only spark

he was the light at the end of the road...

when i was young boy

growin up in august town

we ate from the same pot

we were idlings all around

from corner to colour and corner

from rockers to jungle kentyre

rising to dreadhieghts and river all around

and then the footbal ground became my battlefield

and my life seems so surreal

people were fallin all around

but jah helped me to stand my ground

Only Jah, Only Jah

Coud've Helped me to stand my ground

though i never lived like he wanted

i'm still mindful of what he taught me

so now i beg and plea

i'm on my bended knees

God father u rescue me

and i've got the scars to show

i barely made it along life's road

cause when my life got dark he was the only spark

he was the light at the end of the road...

never lived to please him,

i never lived like i should

oh father you rescue me,

oh yeah, oh yeah

I've lived and I've learnt,

i've made mistakes along the way

now i beg for forgiveness,

each day as i try to pray

So take it from me son

you can change the world today

and i'm livin proof

livin proof that crime doesn't pay

though i never lived like he wanted

i'm still mindful of what he taught me

so now i beg and plea

i'm on my bended knees

God father u rescue me

and i've got the scars to show

i barely made it along life's road

cause when my life got dark he was the only spark

he was the light at the end of the road... (repeat)

I never lived (No, I never lived)

Never lived the way he wanted me too

I never lived (Lord, I tell you)
