So A Child May Follow

Dread shine your light So a child may follow Many have been lost along the way Until tonight Turns into tomorrow Teach them to be careful while at play There's nothing wrong with having fun Don't let the system tame you It's just a part of being young And even though they're quick to blame you Picking on you like a plum Because your dream became true Now look what they've become An open sight in plain view They've already had a run So meanwhile they try to change you It's not over til it's done So please remain the same you Hey young world (hey young world) Hey young world (hey young world) Hey young world The world is yours Hey young world (hey young world) Hey young world (hey young world) Hey young world The world is yours Dread shine your light So a child may follow Many have been lost along the way Until tonight Turns into tomorrow Teach them to be careful while at play You might not think you know enough Don't let that deter you It's all apart of growing up And we're all young enough to learn to And don't you live life in a rush The past cannot be returned to And when you feel like giving up Remember patience is a virtue When you fall, try to get up Have some guts, I'm trying to urge you Be proud of owning up The truth will never hurt you Hey young world (hey young world) Hey young world (hey young world) Hey young world The world is yours Hey young world (hey young world) Hey young world (hey young world) Hey young world The world is yours Dread shine your light So a child may follow Cause' many have been lost along the way Until tonight Turns into tomorrow Teach them to be careful while at play So when you're rising start, be wise and smart Try and make your mark Don't you hype and floss, and drive too fast Cause' life's to short Try to make good times last 'cause time flies past And if time is money, that means I'm cast But it don't cost money to joke and laugh So if you love somebody, hurry up and talk Hey young world (hey young world) Hey young world (hey young world) Hey young world The world is yours --- So A Child May Follow - Damian Marley
