Why are you so ungrateful
  You nuh see that Jah give we life after all
  Check yourself before you wreck yourself
  Me see that Jah Jah give we life after all
  Still none a dem nuh give no thanks at all
  Dem think dem a rise me see dem a fall
  Fall dem a fall – fall dem a fall
  
  How long you want to run away
  Run away from yourself you nuh see that the truth ago reveal
  And every day you got to pray – well that you fi go do and make your life one a the real
  How long you want to run away
  Run away from yourself you nuh see that the truth ago reveal
  And every day you got to pray - you got to pray - you got to pray...
  
  How you fi expect love and you still a glorifie the gun
  How you want clarity if acoke you nuh stop bun
  Your dirty lifestyle nuh give you no way to turn
  You still nuh realize that you wrong
  After you come out of your church you beat your babymother down
  And then you tell her you’re sorry but your head did full a rum
  She couldn’t tek your excuse and your flattering tongue
  That’s why she left you today and still a ask
  
  How long you want to run away
  Run away from yourself you nuh see that the truth ago reveal
  And every day you got to pray – well that you fi go do and make your life one a the real
  How long you want to run away
  Run away from yourself you nuh see that the truth ago reveal
  And every day you got to pray - you got to pray - you got to pray ......
  
  
  Dem say dem a the dolphin but me see dem a the shark
  Dem stand ina the spotlight and live in the dark
  Claim say dem a grounded but me see dem a skylark
  So to me dem can’t talk
  In this time and this ages man hafi be smart
  Think before you talk and watch the road wha’ you a walk
  From you look ina your conscience you can’t miss the mark
  And make a joyful sound unto the Lord
  
  How long you want to run away
  Run away from yourself you nuh see that the truth ago reveal
  And every day you got to pray – well that you fi go do and make your life one a the real
  How long you want to run away
  Run away from yourself you nuh see that the truth ago reveal
  And every day you got to pray - you got to pray - you got to pray.....
