# THE LONG ROAD [Intro] Yeah... Irie Prophet... Long road... Long journey... But we still moving! [Verse 1] Mi been walking on this road for a very long time Carrying the vision and the purpose inna mi mind Many mountain rise, many river mi cross But mi never turn back, no matter what the cost Mi see the rain fall Mi feel the cold wind blow But something deep inside Tell mi, "Keep on go" Every scar upon mi body Tell a story of the fight And every dark night Make mi value morning light [Pre-Chorus] The road get long But mi heart stay strong Even when the pressure come Mi keep moving on No shortcut No easy way But mi know Jah guide me Every single day [CHORUS] THE LONG ROAD! We keep walking! THE LONG ROAD! And we keep moving! Step by step! Mile by mile! Through the darkness We still find a smile! THE LONG ROAD! We never turn around! THE LONG ROAD! Till we reach higher ground! No matter how far No matter how hard... We keep moving! On the long road! [Verse 2] Mi remember all the people who believed in mi dream When the vision wasn't clear and the future couldn't be seen Some people disappear when the struggle get real But the ones who stay beside you know exactly how you feel Mi carry every lesson Every loss and every win Because every single battle Help to build the strength within They can talk behind mi back They can doubt what mi can do But mi know the road mi walking And mi know the vision true [Pre-Chorus] The road get long But mi heart stay strong Even when the pressure come Mi keep moving on No shortcut No easy way But mi know Jah guide me Every single day [CHORUS] THE LONG ROAD! We keep walking! THE LONG ROAD! And we keep moving! Step by step! Mile by mile! Through the darkness We still find a smile! THE LONG ROAD! We never turn around! THE LONG ROAD! Till we reach higher ground! No matter how far No matter how hard... We keep moving! On the long road! [Instrumental Break] [Heavy bass groove + Hammond bubble + distorted guitar riff + explosive horn stabs] [Verse 3] There were times when mi wanted to surrender Times when the fire burn low like an ember But mi dig deep and mi find my strength Now mi walking every mile, every inch, every length Because nothing worth having Come easy in this life You have to face the struggle You have to sacrifice So if you're walking with me Put your worries aside Keep your faith in your heart And keep your vision alive [Bridge] When the road get rough— WE KEEP GOING! When the mountain get high— WE KEEP CLIMBING! When the darkness come— WE KEEP SHINING! When they tell us stop— WE KEEP RIDING! Long road! Long journey! Strong heart! One destiny! [Distorted Electric Guitar Solo] [Fiery melodic rock guitar solo over A – E – F#m – D] [Final Chorus] THE LONG ROAD! We keep walking! THE LONG ROAD! And we keep moving! Step by step! Mile by mile! Through the darkness We still find a smile! THE LONG ROAD! We never turn around! THE LONG ROAD! Till we reach higher ground! No matter how far No matter how hard... We keep moving! On the long road! [Final Hook] Long road! Long road! We still moving! Long road! Long road! We keep choosing! One more step! One more mile! One more mountain! One more trial! Long road! But we never stop! Long road! Until we reach the top! [Outro] Yeah... Irie Prophet... The road long... But the journey worth it. Keep moving.
