(We Got To) Forward Home - Horace Andy

We have to forward home

Babylon couldn’t be our home

It must be somewhere else

We have to forward ourselves

'Cause, we can’t get no clothes to wear

We can’t get no food to eat

We can’t get a job to get bread

That’s why we have to

We got to forward home, if we have to crawl

We got to forward home, if we have to run

Yeah, yeah

There’ll be no sadness, only gladness

When we reach the Promised Land

We got to leave this land

Find ourselves amongst our people

We all got to be free

'Cause, we can’t get no clothes to wear

We can’t get no food to eat

We can’t get a job to get bread

That’s why we have to

We got to forward home, if we have to crawl

We got to forward home, if we have to run

We got to forward home, if we have to crawl

We got to forward home, if we have to run

(We got to)

Forward, forward, yeah

Yeah, my people

Forward out of Babylon

Yeah

'Cause, we can’t get no clothes to wear

We can’t get no food to eat

We can’t get a job to get bread

That’s why we have to

We got to forward home, if we have to crawl

We got to forward home, if we have to run

We got to forward home

There’ll be no sadness, only gladness

In the Promised Land

We got to

We got to leave this life

Find ourselves amongst our people

We all got to be free

'Cause, we can’t get no clothes to wear

We can’t get no food to eat

We can’t get a job to get bread

That’s why we have to

We got to forward home, if we have to crawl

We got to forward home, if we have to run

We got to forward home, if we have to crawl

We got to forward home.
