So A Child May Follow

So a Child May Follow - Damian Marley

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 till 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 to 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
