Wo, man, deh you are!
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 gon´ let you down;
Remember, Natty will be there
To see you through.
(I) And ain´t it good to know (know) now:
Jah will be waiting there.
(I) Ain´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 d´earth
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!
(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.
