 Sweet to di bitta, not always fun 
 One life fi good dem seh yuh nose haffi run 
 As hard as it seems when it is all said and done 
 A new day shall dawn from di rise from di sun

 It's alright to have yuh vision and yuh goal 
 Blessed is di child who has his own 
 Yuh hear mi seh It's alright to have yuh vision and yuh goal 
 Di Fadda pon yuh side yuh not alone 
 Yuh hear mi seh It's alright to have yuh vision and yuh goal 
 Blessed is di child who has his own 
 Yuh hear mi seh It's alright to have yuh vision and yuh goal 
 My son yuh are a king so claim yuh throne, again
