Lyrics (We Got To) Forward Home - Horace Andy

(We Got To) Forward Home

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.
