Chorus:
Take me away; dem false prophets di want lead I astray.
Uh I beg yuh father shine on my way
I say, thy name shall be praised, thy name shall be praised.
Say, thy name shall be praised, thy name shall be praised.
Life about here is inhuman, babylon a no place fi a man,
With nuh worship illusions, who believes ina truth, and ina love and ina Almighty One.
They pressurize you from yourself I say all day long, give yuh bad influence 'till your eyes ears and your heart lock down.
They lead yuh from the right road right into confusion and when you speak up, you all of them mock at yuh tek it fi fun.
Jah, Jah hear my song.
-chorus-
Dem all a worship illusion.
Long time me a think me could a changed dem plan, but me a give in 'cause dem no want no change to be done. to live at di expense of di poor a dad I just can't stand- that me just don't want. that's why me leave dis ya land.
I want to rule my desteny; me nuh want to put it in dem hand.
So, tek me away from babylon civilization, 'cause dem steal di power from I-man.
Jah, Jah hear my song.
-chorus-
