God gave me travelling shoes

God gave me the wanderer's eye

God gave me a few gold coins

To help me to the other side

Looked around and said

Be careful how the small things grow

God gives me travelling shoes

And I knew that it was time to go

He then sent in the ship at night

To take me to the hidden port

Found me the key at last

To open up the prison door

Brought down the blackbirds wings

Gifted me with beggar's eyes

Sent in the jackals

To tell me I should say bye, bye, bye

I'm home, home

Home, home, home

And I'm home, home

Home, home, home

But I'm miles and miles and miles

And miles and miles away

Oh where can I hide?

God gave me one last chance

Gave me one last reprieve

Jah gave me hunger

Gave me the air to breath

Gave me one suit case

Gave me one last goodbye

Gave me travelling shoes

Without them I would surely die, die, die

Home, home

Home, home, home

Home, home

Home, home, home

Miles and miles and miles

And miles and miles away

Miles and miles and miles

And miles and miles away

Oh, where do I go?

Oh, where can I hide?

Home, home

Home, home, home

And I'm home, home

Home, home, home

(And I'm miles away)

(Miles away)

(I'm running miles away)
