[Chorus]
Take me away
Them false prophets want to lead I astray
I beg you father shine on my way
I say, thy name shall be praised, thy name shall be praised
I say, thy name shall be praised, thy name shall be praised

[Verse 1]
Life about here is inhuman
Babylon is no place for a man who doesen't worship illusions Who believes in all truth and love and in the Almighty One
They pressurize you from yourself all day long
Give you bad influence until your eyes ears and your heart lock down
They lead you from the right road right into confusion
And when you speak up, all of them mock at you and take it for fun
Well, the truth they take for fun

[Chorus]
Jah, Jah hear my song
Take me away
Them false prophets want to lead I astray
I beg you father shine on my way
I say, thy name shall be praised, thy name shall be praised
I say, thy name shall be praised, thy name shall be praised

[Verse 2]
Them all worship illusion
Long time I've thought I could have changed their plan
But I gave in because they don't want no change to be done
To live at the expense of the poor - that, I just can't stand -
That, I just don't want
That's why I leave this land
I want to rule my destiny, I don't want to put it in their hand
So take me away from babylon civilization
'Cause they thieve the power from I-man
[Chorus]
Jah, Jah hear my song
Take me away
Them false prophets want to lead I astray
I beg you father shine on my way
I say, thy name shall be praised, thy name shall be praised
I say, thy name shall be praised, thy name shall be praised
