              Ma Third Eye

Every day me get in a stress

About some little ting

Life sometimes can be ard

Ya never no what it bring

People try and dis me

But me no gonna cry

Cause I got da protection off

Ma third eye

 

Da spirit often moves me

But me still cannot find ma way

I and I is lost in da wilderness

Mi hope me find salvation one day

When me ave no where ta turn

Me get on ma knees an pray

But on one ting I can rely

Ma third eye

 

Da world is in a big mess

All dis destruction an war

Preaching freedom and democracy ?

What are dey all fighting for

It’s all getting too much

Me jus can’t take no more

Away I want ta fly with

Ma third eye
