Actions Speak Louder Than Words lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Action speaks louder than words
Don't be deceived by all those fancy talkers
Action speaks louder than words
Don't be deceived by all those fancy talkers
Cos a man can say (say)
He'll turn your night into day
And a man can say (say)
He'll take your sufferings away
And a man can say (say)
He'll roll your dark clouds away
But when it comes to doing (doing)
Showing (showing)
It's gonna take some knowing (knowing)
Yeah hey hey hey hey
Action speaks louder than words
Don't be deceived by all those fancy talkers
Because action speaks louder than words
Don't be deceived by all those fancy talkers
Cos anyone can say (say)
They'll build a world in a day
Anyone can say (say)
They'll make a stormy day bright
Anyone can say (say)
They'll put all the wrong things right
But when it comes to doing (doing)
It's gonna take some knowing (knowing)
If they must do some showing (showing)
Look here now, hey hey hey hey
Action speaks louder than words
Don't be deceived by all those fancy talkers
Because action speaks louder than words
Don't be deceived by all those fancy talkers
Action speaks louder than words
Don't be deceived by all those fancy talkers
Because action speaks louder than words
Don't be deceived by all those fancy talkers
Action speaks louder than words
Don't be deceived by all those fancy talkers
Because action speaks louder than words
Don't be deceived by all those fancy talkers
Born To Win lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
I am born to win
I am born to win
I've been lost and found, turned upside down
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been cast aside, and been despised
Mmm, mmm, mmm
But I'm Daniel in the lion's den
Jonah in the belly of the whale
I'm not alone, so I cannot fail, no, no, no
And I'm born to win
I am born to win
I am born to win
I've been rejected considered dead
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been accused and been refused
Mmm, mmm, mmm
But the stone that the builder refuse
Shall be the head corner stone
I cannot fail, 'cause I'm not alone, no, no, no
And I'm born to win
[?]
Hey, hey, hey, oh yes
Yes I know that
I am born to win
I am born to win
Been lost and found, turned upside down
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been accused and been refused
Mmm, mmm, mmm
But I'm Daniel in the lion's den
Jonah in the belly of the whale
I'm not alone, so I cannot fail, no, no, no
'Cause I'm born to win
Yes, I'm born, born, born to win
I am born, born, born, born to win
I am born to win...
Brave Warrior lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
The battle has long begun
See them coming one by one
See them coming two by two
But it seems like just a few
'Cause you are the mighty and wise
We're going to cut them right down to size
Fight on, brave warrior
Until they open up the door for you
Fight on, brave warrior
'Cause if they don't, we're going to bust it through
If they come physically
We're going to take them psychologically
If they come psychologically
We're going to take them on mentally
If they come mentally
We're going to take them on spiritually
Fight on, brave warrior
Until they open up the door for you
Fight on, brave warrior
'Cause if they don't, we're going to bust it through
Because your cause is righteous and just
By any means, destruction's a must
Because you are the mighty and wise
We cut them right down to size
Only the strong can survive
There is no question who will stay alive
Fight on, brave warrior
Until they open up the door for you
Fight on, brave warrior
'Cause if they don't, we're going to bust it through
Human Touch lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
I like the way I can communicate with you today
I like the way I can keep in touch when you're far away
I think it's cool to stay connected with you on Skype
Or on WhatsApp or some other app when the time is right
Still I love for human touch
I love for human touch
I need it oh so much, I just can't get enough
Of the human touch, oh
I love the human touch
I love the human touch
I need it oh so much, I just can't get enough
Of the human touch
There's nothing like your smiling face
And your warm embrace
And when I smell your sweet perfume
It's like a flower bloom
Oh, how I miss the way you give your tender kiss
And when you whisper in my ear things I love to hear
Oh, that's the human touch
Yeah, that's the human touch
I need it oh so much, I just can't get enough
Of the human touch, mmh
I love your human touch
I love your human touch
I just can't get enough, I need it oh so much
Your human touch
The more I'm connected to my cell phone
The more I'm disconnected from my own
And if I ever I'm in misery
Your human touch in my remedy
Makes me feel alright
Oh, I love to feel alright, oh
Oh, let me touch you, baby
Come on and touch me, baby
I need it oh so much, I need your tender touch
The human touch, ooh
Come on and touch me, baby
Oh, let me touch you, baby
I need it oh so much, I just can't get enough
Of your human touch
Oh, let me touch you, baby
Come on and touch me, baby
Oh, let me touch you, baby
I Am The Living lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
I'm the living and the loving
I'm a shelter in a hail of thunder
I'm a giver, I'm a taker
I'm a liver and a miracle maker
At last, it has come to pass
I know if you just let it go
You will see that everything has its own place and its time
You are free to savor the rhythms and make your own minds
I'm the living and the loving
I'm a shelter in a hail of thunder
I'm the meek, I'm the strong
I'm the right and the wrong
At last, it has come to pass
I know you'll flow when you just let it go
You will see that everything has its own place and its time
You are free to savor the rhythms and make your own minds
I'm the living and the loving
I'm a shelter in a hail of thunder
I'm a stranger, I'm a friend
The beginning and the ending
I'm the living and the loving
I'm a shelter in a hail of thunder
I'm the thirst and the hunger
I'm the oldest, getting younger
At last, it has come to pass
Living in the nature, it is greater yeah
I'm the living and the loving
I'm a shelter in a hail of thunder
I'm the pain and the passion
I'm the essence, satisfaction
I'm the living and the loving
I'm a shelter in a hail of thunder
I'm the living and the loving
I'm a shelter in a hail of thunder

Love Again lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Love, love again, brother man
Love, love again, sister woman
Love, love again, little ones
I know you might think it's outdated
But it never can be duplicated
Many times seems complicated
But it never can be duplicated
Sing it out and it's music
Sound so sweet, you got to repeat it
Love, love again, brother man
Say love, love again, sister woman
Say, say, love, love again, little ones
As pure as it came through the ages
Given to man in its stages
For the unity of humanity
In a this time of vanity
Say it out and it's miracle
Feel so sweet you got to repeat it
Love, love again, brotherman
Love, love again, little ones
Now you see where I'm coming from
So now that we see what I'm saying
And now that you know that it's true
And now that the action's been taken
And all the walls have been shaken, shaken down
Say love, love again, brother man
Love, love again, sister woman
Love, love again, little ones
Say it confidently, passionately, universally
Love, love again, brother man
Love, love again, sister woman
Love, love again, little ones
Chant it out now
Love, love, again
Love, love, again
Love Me, Love Me lyrics - Jimmy Cliff

My People lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
My people are not your people
And your people are not my people
And my people are not your people
Oh no
I loved you because I was lonely
Wondering and also lost
And in order to have a good future
I was searching to find my past
Wherever thou goest I would go
But I found out your greatest seeing is to know
My people are not your people
And your people are not my people
And my people are not your people
Oh no
I knew you when I was a drifter
Suffering with no connection
You knew me more than I knew myself
But you would point me in my direction
I was in the dark, you were in the light
Now I can tell day from night
My people are not your people
And your people are not my people
And my people are not your people
Oh no
And my people are just my people
Oh yea
My people are not your people
And your people are just your people
And my people are just my people
I don't wanna mix with your people
My people ain't your people
No Justice lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
(from "Marked For Death" soundtrack)
I work all day to find my daily bread
Work so hard to get a roof over my head
But the one's I work with acts like their my masters
When what I refuse I'm more then equal partner
I can't get no justice
Under this system
I can't get no justice in this society
I work day and night to find my daily needs
But freedom is suppressed by another one's greed
Why should serve the one's who control another one's needs?
It's rebellion these kind of actions breeds
I can't get no justice
Under this system
I can't get no justice
In this society
I can't get no justice
Under this system
I can't get no justice
In this society
Why should one be judged by the color of their skin?
Instead of look what it is they show from deep within
If they keep wanting to control what we earn
Run a press around because we're going to burn (going to burn)
I can't get no justice under this system
I can't get me no justice
In this society
I can't get me no justice
Under this system
I can't no justice in this society
I can't get me no justice
Under this system
I can't get no justice
In this society
Yeah, yeah
I can't get no justice under this system
I can't get no justice in this society
I can't get me no justice
Under this system
I can't get no justice in this society
Oh Jamaica lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica
You're always on my mind
Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica
You're always on my mind
Jamaica, men have called you since Columbus sailed to the shores
From John Hawkins to Henry Morgan and many more
They all loved you for your party and your wealth
But cared nothing for your welfare or your health
Now you're a woman that has fallen in the dust
But your children will help you because they must
Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica
You're always on my mind
From the Midlands to Morant Point, from Kingston to Mobay
Discontentment is the order of the day
And like your sisters that are in the Caribbean
Disaffection from deception can be seen
Your many lovers were deceivers from the start
Now your sons and daughters hug you to the heart
Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica
You're always on my mind
Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica
You're always on my mind
Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica
You're always on my mind
They don't know, oh Jamaica,
Oh Jamaica now, oh Jamaica
Hey, hey, eh you're always on my mind
Oh Jamaica, hey hey hey, oh Jamaica, hmmn hmmn
Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica now, oh Jamaica
Eeee eee hey, you're always on my mind
On My Life lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
On my life I swear I'll never let you down
On my life comes what may we're heaven bounded
The time has come and we must stand, hand in hand
Sink or swim, we're moving and have faith within
On my life all in one I know we'll win
On my life rest assured I'll never bend
I declared the rights I was to defend
Go on step fast and victory is a surety
Guarantee, security from almighty
On my life I'd pledge with all solemnity
Yeah! Hey, now...
On my life I swear I'll never let you down
On my life comes what may we're heaven bounded
Time has come and we must stand, hand in hand
Sink or swim, we're moving and have faith within
On my life all in one I know we'll win
Oh, my love, on my life
On my life I swear to you
On my life, oh, oh
I swear to you any... day now
On my life I know we'll win
I know I know it can't go wrong, yeah...
Poor Slave lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Poor slave
Take the shackles off your body
Poor slave
Put the shackles on your mind
Please listen to me carefully
And if I'm wrong, then correct me
But if I'm right, mind not the praise
Now let us see if we agree
The definition of a slave
Means once a tree, entirely
So a slave is still a slave
If he can think independently
Poor slave
Take the chains off your body
Poor slave
Put the chains on your mind
A tree is still a tree
Though it shed its leaves when winter falls
But it blooms again in spring
Because it did not lose its roots at all
But a slave
Remains a slave
Without the knowledge of its roots
Until, he thought his past
Not just some, but all the truths
Poor slave
Take the chains off your body
Poor slave
Put the chains on your mind
There was a brother the other day
Telling me he's feeling high
Well I just sadly had to sigh
'Cause drugs and booze are lorey
And if I'm asked how to get high
I'll tell them truths and not a lie
The highest high that man can get
Is with knowledge and understanding
Poor slave
Ease the pressure off your body?
Poor slave
Put the pressure on your mind
Poor slave
Ever take the pressure off your body?
Poor slave
Put the pressure on your mind
Poor slave
Take the shackles off your body
Poor slave
Put the shackles on your mind
Refugees (Dance Version) lyrics - Jimmy Cliff (feat. Wyclef Jean)
Refugees
Refugees
We got a big box at home
Ref, ref, ref, ref...
I'm a refugee
There was na exodus from Europe to America
Now there's an exodus from the Middle East to Europe
Yes, there's an exodus from Africa to Europe
People running here and there, looking for a home
Refugees
Refugees
Refugees
Well, couldn't they be someone like you and me?
You know I'm a global citizen in this forum
Listen, I'm a full G that's a refugee
My family paddled through the seas
Made it through day but the night is calling
Load on they back like when camels walking
We gon' make it through the odds
Every day that we live is blessing in disguise
Do unto others as you would have done it to you
Listen, that's just the word from the wise
We live for the fate but we die [?]
'Cause the proof only show that you care about you
About us, if you really do give us this time
We got women and children at the border line
I'm a refugee
Refugees
Refugees
Refugees
I'm a refugee
She Was So Right For Me lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
She was so right for me
She was so right for me
She was so right for me
And I know, oh I know
Met her in the winter of my life
Thought that I'd make her my wife
But I didn't let the lady know
Just how much I love her so
So many people just don't understand
They want to say our love is so wrong
It's never too late for a shower of rain
I'll go back and start all over again
Because she was so right for me
She was so right for me
She was so right for me
And I know, oh I know
So right when I am with her
There is so much confidence
Ooh, sometimes I miss her
Unforgettable experience
So many people just don't understand
They want to say our love is so wrong
But it's never too late for a shower of rain
Yes I'll go back and start all over again
Because she was so right for me
She was so right for me
She was so right for me
And I know, oh I know
No use to regret now
Divine love you don't forget now
'Cause I know the love we shared
Was beyond the earthly atmosphere
She was a lover, a mother and a friend
Love like this could just never end
Still so many people just don't understand
They want to say our love is so wrong
But I know that she was so right for me
She was so right for me
She was so right for me
I know, oh I know
But I keep on telling you
You darling can't you see?
You was so right for me
You darling can't you see?
You was so right for me
You darling can't you see?
You was so right for me
You darling can't you see?
Shelter of Your Love lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Shelter of your love
The shelter of your love
Shelter of your love
Talking 'bout the shelter of your love
How I survived, I don't know
Still I'm glad to say I'm still here today
I tried to pretend but it was just a show
Now I just can't hide. I had to swallow my pride
And I had to run for the shelter of your love
Run for the shelter of your love
Run for the shelter of your love
Run for the shelter of your love
You know I'm a man, I don't like to brag
But it's been cold and empty out here, it's been a drag
A man don't fight and run away, will live to fight another day
Well, it's these words I sing that keeps me holding on today
I know that I can run for the shelter of your love
Run for the shelter of your love
Run for the shelter of your love
Run for the shelter of your love
The shelter of your love
Longing for the shelter of your love
The shelter of your love
Talking 'bout the shelter of your love
The shelter of your love
The shelter of your love
I know that I can run for the shelter of your love
That's what kept me holding on so strong
Run for the shelter
So strong, so long
Run for the shelter of your love
Run for the shelter of your love
Shelter of your love
Talking 'bout the shelter of your love
Under The Sun, Moon And Stars lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Yes! As I was sayin', I like work, you know.
But when I work I must get paid.
You don't know the sound I'm tryin' to tell you.
Listen! Try to understand! Listen!
My foreparents worked, from sun-up, 'til sun-down.
Peace could not be found now they're under the ground.
I've heard dem complain and cried out in pain.
Seeking peaceful gain under the Sun, Moon and stars.
Won't happen to me. I'm not blind, you see.
I've got to be free. I want it right here on Earth.
Got to have some fun, 'for my life is done.
Let happiness run under the Sun, Moon and stars.
Under the Sun, under the Moon, under the stars, wherever you are!
Got to have some fun under the Sun, Moon and stars.
Got to get some fun under the Sun, Moon and stars.
Don't wanted on Venus, Saturn nor Uranus.
Don't want it on Pluto, I want it right here on Earth.
Don't want it on Jupiter, Neptune nor on Mercury.
Don't want it on Mars, but under the Sun, Moon and stars.
Under the Sun, under the Moon, under the stars, wherever you are!
Got to have some fun under the Sun, Moon and stars.
Let happiness run under the Sun, Moon and stars.
So you didn't understand what I was tryin to tell you...
Got tell you one more time. Listen!
Under the Sun, under the Moon, under the stars, wherever you are!
Got to have some fun under the Sun, Moon and stars.
Let happiness run under the Sun, Moon and stars.
Got to find some peace under the Sun, Moon and stars.
Each and everyone. Under the Sun, Moon and stars.

I got one more shot at the prize
So don't be surprised
Open your eyes
I got one more shot at the goal
Straight from my soul
And I'm in control
One more, one more, one more, one more
One more, one more, one more, one more
One, more, one, more, one more, one more
One More!
Guns Of Brixton lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, Guns of Brixton
The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell
You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come
You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh-the guns of Brixton
When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
You can crush us
You can bruise us
And even shoot us
But oh- the guns of Brixton
Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game was survivin'
As in heaven as in hell
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Ruby Soho lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Echoes of reggae comin' through my bedroom wall
Havin' a party up next door but I'm sittin here all alone
Two lovers in the bedroom and the other starts to shout
All I got is this blank stare and that don't carry no clout at all
[Chorus:]
Destination unknown
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
[x2]
He's singin and she's there to lend a hand
He's seen his name on the marquee but she will never understand
Once again he's leavin' and she's there with a tear in her eye
Embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye
[Chorus]
Ruby's heart ain't beatin cause she knows the feelin' is gone
She's not the only one who knew there's somethin' wrong
Her lover's in the distance as she wipes a tear from her eye
Ruby's fading out, she disappears, it's time, time to say goodbye
[Chorus]
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
Destination unknown (Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho)
Ruby ruby ruby ruby soho
[x2]

Ship Is Sailing lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Baby it's been a long time
We've been sitting on drydock
And it seems like all the pathways
Have been blocked
Now the tides have turned
And the rewards we have earned
Bringing us good feeling
Set our hearts a-reeling, baby
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
Our ship is sailing, yes we are moving
Our ship is sailing, and we are moving
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
'Til we say so
Hey now
Now let's rock it steady
Since a long time we've been ready
Let nothing detract our attention
Let's take our time
'Cause I'm feeling so fine
When you hold me tight
Everything's all right, darlin'
Our ship is sailing, yes we are moving
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
Our ship is sailing, let's keep on moving
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
'Til we say so
Hey hey now
Now with love and affection
We're moving in the right direction
Satisfaction is the key along the way
So let's share the joy
Like a child with a new toy
Baby hold me tight
Everything's all right, darlin'
Our ship is sailing, and we are moving
Our ship is sailing, there ain't now stopping now
Our ship is sailing, yes we are on the go
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
Let's share the joy (Our ship is sailing)
Like a child with a new toy (Our ship is sailing)
Baby let's take our time (Our ship is sailing)
'Cause I'm feeling so fine
Babe
Yeah yeah
We've been sitting on drydock
And it seems like all the pathways
Have been blocked
Now the tides have turned
And the rewards we have earned
Bringing us good feeling
Set our hearts a-reeling, baby
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
Our ship is sailing, yes we are moving
Our ship is sailing, and we are moving
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping

I Want I Do I Get lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Say, say, say
Do, do, do
Say, say, say
Do, do, do
Wanting, needing
Saying, praying
Dreaming, hoping
Waiting, playing
Won't get you what you want
If you keep saying you can't
Won't get you what you need
Really in words and deeds
You've got to do it
And when you do it
You will get through it
And you get through it, you say
I want, I do, I get
I want, I do, I get
I want, I do, I get
I want, I do, I get
And it is done
Thinking, planning
Wishing, longing
Crying, lying
Hesitating, procrastinating
Won't bring you sweet success
Won't bring you happiness
Won't bring you sweet caress
Won't bring you reprogress
You've got to do it
And when you do it
You will get through it
And you get through it, you say
I want, I do, I get
I want, I do, I get
I want, I do, I get
I want, I do, I get
And it is done
Not enough to say, say, say
You got to do, do, do
It's not enough to say, say, say
Here's what you do, do, do
Not enough to say, say, say
It's all you do, do, do
Not enough to say, say, say
You've got to do, do, do
I want, I do, I get
I want, I do, I get
I want, I do, I get
Do, do, do
Say, say, say
Do, do, do
Wanting, needing
Saying, praying
Dreaming, hoping
Waiting, playing
Won't get you what you want
If you keep saying you can't
Won't get you what you need
Really in words and deeds
You've got to do it
And when you do it
You will get through it
And you get through it, you say
I want, I do, I get
I want, I do, I get
I want, I do, I get

Won't bring you happiness
Won't bring you sweet caress
Won't bring you reprogress
You've got to do it

And you get through it, you say

People lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
There comes a time when we must fight again
For what we know to be the truth
here comes the day when we must rise again
To save ourselves reclaim our youth
So people lets get together and show our power
All over the world
So people lets get together and show our power
All over the world
There comes a time to gather round again
To sit and learn each others ways
As of today lets start to laugh again
And hope and Joy is here to stay
And people lets get together and show our power
All over the world
People lets get together and show our power
All over the world
Love sees the way to make the best of things
We know the truth lies in the simple things
The simple thing lest we forget
So people lets get together and show our power
All over the world
People lets get together and show our power
All over the world
For what we know to be the truth
here comes the day when we must rise again
To save ourselves reclaim our youth
So people lets get together and show our power

Love Comes lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Love comes like a miracle...
Love comes to the rescue - whenever you need it
Love comes like a miracle so you better believe
It's true (it's true) - when I look deep inside of you
Just when I think I cannot find
Some peace of mind...
Love comes to the rescue - whenever you need it
Love comes like a miracle so you better believe
It's true (true) - when I'm lost for words to explain
And my heart is filled with the kind of pain
I just don't need
Oh...
Love comes to the rescue (to the rescue) - whenever you need it
Love (don't you know, don't you know that) comes like a miracle (like a miracle)...
Just when I think I can't find some peace of mind...
Love - love comes...
Love comes...
Let it in...
Love comes to the rescue - whenever you need it
Love comes like a miracle so you better believe
It's true (it's true) - when I look deep inside of you
Just when I think I cannot find
Some peace of mind...
Love comes to the rescue - whenever you need it
Love comes like a miracle so you better believe
It's true (true) - when I'm lost for words to explain
And my heart is filled with the kind of pain
I just don't need
Oh...
Love comes to the rescue (to the rescue) - whenever you need it
Love (don't you know, don't you know that) comes like a miracle (like a miracle)...
Just when I think I can't find some peace of mind...
Love - love comes...
Love comes...
Let it in...
Terror lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
September 11th
Well it was Hell in Heaven
A Hell of a day
In the US of A
Terror hit the World Trade Center
In New York City
And the Pentagon
In the city of Washington
I saw it on T.V.
I thought that I was watching a movie
Like it was World War III
In the land of the brave and the home of the free
Where was 007
September 11th
And Superman
When they called 911
Now there's a war against terror, terror
Terror fighting terror
Terror, terror
Oh what a horror
Now there's a war against terror, terror
Terror fighting terror
Terror, terror
Oh what a horror
Terror, terror, terror
We must have a better tomorrow
We must have a better tomorrow now
September 11th
Another war in Heaven
All who were there
Said it was a living nightmare
But for every action
There has to be a reaction
This is the law of nature
Now we're living in the future
So when you're digging a ditch
I think you better dig two
One for the other man
And one for you
And when you're pointing a finger
When three points back at you
Be sure your hands are clean
I think you know what I mean
'Cause when you war against terror, terror
Terror fighting terror
Terror, terror
Oh what a horror
Terror, terror
Biological
Terror, terror
Environmental
Terror, terror, terror
We must have a better tomorrow
We must have a better tomorrow now
11th of September
The world will always
The year 2001
A new era begun
This was a wake-up call
To nations great and small
Terror been with you all the time
But you never paid it no mind
Oh, it's the Armageddon
A clash of civilization
With terror fighting terror
Tell me who can be the hero
I read it in Revelation
That there would be lamentation
A tale of God and the Devil
But good must overcome evil
Well it was Hell in Heaven
A Hell of a day
In the US of A
Terror hit the World Trade Center
In New York City
And the Pentagon
In the city of Washington
I saw it on T.V.
I thought that I was watching a movie
Like it was World War III
In the land of the brave and the home of the free
Where was 007
September 11th
And Superman
When they called 911
Now there's a war against terror, terror
Terror fighting terror
Terror, terror
Oh what a horror
Now there's a war against terror, terror
Terror fighting terror
Terror, terror
Oh what a horror
Terror, terror, terror
We must have a better tomorrow
We must have a better tomorrow now
September 11th
Another war in Heaven
All who were there
Said it was a living nightmare
But for every action

Take Your Time lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
She says she loves me more than I do
And she says she's sorry
She promised me everything too
She tells me not to worry
But listen baby, make up your mind
Or both of us you will lose
Listen baby, we got to find out
Which one of us you will choose
Take your time if you want
But don't take mine
Waste your life if you want
But don't waste mine
Take your time if you want
But don't take mine
Waste your life if you want
But don't waste mine
She says she loves the way I smile
With lovely accent when I talk
She says she loves the reggae nights
The way I dance when I walk
But listen babe, make up your mind
Or both of us you will lose
Listen babe, we got to find out
Which one of us you will choose
Take your time if you want
But don't take mine
Waste your life if you want
But don't waste mine
Yan or Jimmy, Yan or Jimmy
I don't who to choose
Yan or Jimmy, Yan or Jimmy
Which one I'm gonna lose
Take your time if you want
But don't take mine
Waste your life if you want
But don't waste
Take your time if you want
But don't take mine
Waste your life if you want
But don't waste
Take your time if you want
But don't take mine
Waste your life if you want
But don't waste
Take your time if you want
But don't take mine
Waste your life
And she says she's sorry
She promised me everything too
She tells me not to worry
But listen baby, make up your mind
Or both of us you will lose
Listen baby, we got to find out
Which one of us you will choose
Take your time if you want
But don't take mine
Waste your life if you want
But don't waste mine
Take your time if you want
But don't take mine
Waste your life if you want
But don't waste mine
She says she loves the way I smile
With lovely accent when I talk
She says she loves the reggae nights
The way I dance when I walk
But listen babe, make up your mind
Or both of us you will lose
Listen babe, we got to find out
Which one of us you will choose
Take your time if you want

Higher And Higher lyrics -Jimmy Cliff
Your love, lifting me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it it up
Quench my desire
And I'll be at your side, forever more
[Chorus]
You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Now once, I was down hearted
Disappointment, was my closest friend
But then you, came and it soon departed
And you know he never
Showed his face again
[Chorus]
That's why your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
[Organ solo]
I'm so glad, I've finally found you
That someone, in a million girls
And I whip, my loving arms around you
I can stand up, and face the world
[Chorus]
That's why your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Everyday your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Lift me up, woman (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
[fade out]
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it it up
Quench my desire
And I'll be at your side, forever more
[Chorus]
You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Now once, I was down hearted
Disappointment, was my closest friend
But then you, came and it soon departed
And you know he never
Showed his face again
[Chorus]
That's why your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
[Organ solo]
I'm so glad, I've finally found you
That someone, in a million girls
And I whip, my loving arms around you
I can stand up, and face the world
[Chorus]
That's why your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Everyday your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Lift me up, woman (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)

Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)

I Can See Clearly Now lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone.
All of the bad feelings have disappeared.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
(ooh...) Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies.
I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.

Peace lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
How is there going to be peace?
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
Someone is taking more than their share
Of the bounties of this land and that's not fair
So little people got more than they need
While there's so many hungry mouths in the world to feed
And I am would give my heart so true
And I will give my love for you, tell me
How is there going to be peace?
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
Someone is taking my share
And they just don't give a damn, no they don't care
So, you just might as well face it
'Cause there ain't no other way to erase it
And I will give my heart so true
And I will give my love for you, tell me
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
Someone is taking more than their share
Of the bounties of this land and that's not fair
So little people got more than they need
While there's so many hungry mouths in the world to feed
And I am would give my heart so true
And I will give my love for you, tell me
How is there going to be peace?
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
Someone is taking my share
And they just don't give a damn, no they don't care
So, you just might as well face it
'Cause there ain't no other way to erase it
And I will give my heart so true
And I will give my love for you, tell me
Haunted lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Haunted by your love
Wanted for your love
Wanted by the love of you and me
Haunted, memories won't let me be
So I keep rolling on till another battle is won
No one ever let go, I see reality show
And I'm haunted, wanted by your love
Haunted by the dreams of yesterday
Haunted, as I linger on today but I won't run away
Tomorrow is another day, no one ever give in
'Cause I know from my faith I will win
And I'm haunted by your love day by day
Only every time you're awake
I know how much I miss you, love you too
Oh girl, you're the most, from pillar to post
With my feet on the ground and my head in the sky
I'm on solid ground and I know we'll be riding high
And I'm haunted by your love day by day
Haunted by the visions that I see
Haunted, of the the mission to be free
With my feet on the ground and my head in the sky
I'm on solid ground and I know we'll be riding high
And I'm haunted, wanted for your love
Haunted by your love, haunted, wanted by your love
Oh honey, our love is fascinating
Ooh child, it's so amazing, yeah, in my dreams
Oh, your lies won't let me sleep
Haunted by your love

Haunted by your love, haunted by your love
Wanted for your love, haunted by your love
Wanted for your love, haunted by your love
Wanted for your love, haunted by your love

True Story lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
We gave you history,
But what about the true story
Hidiing your heritage
to keep you into bondage
they stole your culutre
to say you got no future
destroyed your tradition
to keep you into subjection
AND THATS THE TRUE STORY
they took the natural living
and gave you articificail living
they took the solcial living
and turned it into socilisim
they took the communl living
and turned in into communisum
they took the capital living
and turned it into capitialism
AND THATS THE TRUE STORY
my ancestors were kings of old
half the stories have not been told
they were mighty men and women
my children will be like them
we are the seed of abraham
descneded from adam
we are the true born israleites
the true born ishmaelites
AND THATS THE TRUE STORY
DON'T YOU LIE
Don't want your hizzim shcism
your just for the system
don't want your fo Lucifer
you call it your philosiphy
don't want your lies buried
you call it your library
We want the true story
But what about the true story
Hidiing your heritage
to keep you into bondage
they stole your culutre
to say you got no future
destroyed your tradition
to keep you into subjection
AND THATS THE TRUE STORY
they took the natural living
and gave you articificail living
they took the solcial living
and turned it into socilisim
they took the communl living
and turned in into communisum
they took the capital living
and turned it into capitialism
AND THATS THE TRUE STORY
my ancestors were kings of old

We want the true story
We All Are One lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Mmm...mmm...mmm....
Yeah
Mmm...hmm...mmm....oh...
We all are one, we are the same person
I'll be you, you'll be me (Oh, yeah)
We all are one, same universal world
I'll be you, you'll be me
No matter where we are born,
We are human beings
The same chemistry
Where emotions and feelings
All corresponding in love
Compatible
You can't get around it,
No matter how hard you try
You better believe it
And if you should find out
That you are no different than I
Reply
We all are one (We all),
We are the same person (Same person)
I'll be you, you'll be me (I'll be me, you'll be you)
We all are one (We all), same universal world
I'll be you, you'll be me
The only difference I can see
Is in the conscience
And the shade of our skin
Doesn't matter, we laugh, we chatter
We smile, we all live for
And the feelings that make
All those faces always renew
So true, so true
And would you believe that I have
All those same feelings too
The same as you
We all are one, we are the same person
I'll be you, you'll be me (I'll be me, you'll be you)

With no regards to why
They all look different but deep inside
Their feelings of love they don't hide, they don't hide
They don't hide, they don't hide
We all are one, we are the same person
I'll be you, you'll be me (Oh, yeah)
We all are one, same universal world
I'll be you, you'll be me

Now I don't know what you'd say
If you saw me yesterday
But I know what you'd say
If you see I mon today
She'll cook that country porridge
If I get her knowledge
Keep a lookin' smashin'
And it keeps us bubbling on
And I'm talking 'bout the
Roots woman, roots woman
She's my roots woman
It's the truth, woman
And you turn me on
Roots woman, roots woman
She's a roots woman
It's the truth, woman
And you turn me on
Turn me on now
Oh, yeah
I'll turn you on
Mmm, hmm
Sometimes we have to fuss
Sometimes we have to fight
But that don't hinder us
From making it alright
You see, love is our foundation
Ever since creation
And funny as it seems
And I'm talking 'bout the
Roots woman, roots woman
She's a roots woman
It's the truth, woman
And you turn me on
Roots woman, roots woman
She's a roots woman
It's the truth, woman
And you turn me on
Turn me on now
Roots woman, roots woman (Oh, yeah)
She's my roots woman (I'll turn you on)
It's the truth, woman (Mmm, hmm)
She's my roots woman (Yeah)
Roots woman, roots woman (Oh, yeah)
She's my roots woman
(Talking 'bout the roots woman, roots woman)
It's the truth, woman
She's my roots woman (Oh, yeah)
Roots woman, roots woman (Uh-huh)
She's my roots woman (She's my roots woman)
It's the truth, woman (It's the truth, woman)
She's my roots woman (It's the roots woman)
Roots woman, roots woman (And you turn me on)
She's my roots woman (Turn me on now)
It's the truth, woman (I turn you on)
She's my roots woman (You turn me on)
Roots woman, roots woman (I turn you on)
She's my roots woman (You turn me on)
It's the truth, woman (I turn you on)
She's my roots woman (Oh, oh)

Journey lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Well the years have come and the years have gone
Still the son of man keeps a trotting on
Journey, Journey on
Yet from innocence to experience
from dependence to independence
Journey, Journey on
Well now I have love and I have been loved
I have judged and I have been judged
Journey, Journey on
So where there come a storm there's a victory
Cause I live all and all lives in me
Journey, Journey on
[Chorus:]
Journey, Oh Journey
and I never get, never get weary yet
Journey, Oh Journey
still I never get, never get weary yet
I was captured on the banks of the river Nile
carried far beyond the seven seas
Journey, Journey on
So I left my home in the morning
I wanna go home in the evening
Journey, Journey on
[Chorus]
Like the sun and sea life is flowing free
I've got to be free 1983
Journey, Journey on
So from the lessons learned and the tables turned
the victories earned and my heart still yearns
Journey, Journey on
[Chorus]
Still the son of man keeps a trotting on
Journey, Journey on
Yet from innocence to experience
from dependence to independence
Journey, Journey on
Well now I have love and I have been loved
I have judged and I have been judged
Journey, Journey on
So where there come a storm there's a victory
Cause I live all and all lives in me
Journey, Journey on
[Chorus:]
Journey, Oh Journey
and I never get, never get weary yet
Journey, Oh Journey
still I never get, never get weary yet
I was captured on the banks of the river Nile
carried far beyond the seven seas
Journey, Journey on
So I left my home in the morning
I wanna go home in the evening
Journey, Journey on
[Chorus]
Like the sun and sea life is flowing free
I've got to be free 1983
Journey, Journey on
So from the lessons learned and the tables turned
the victories earned and my heart still yearns
Journey, Journey on
[Chorus]

Lonely Street lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
There was no love,
no, no love to be found
There was no love,
no, no love to be found
Evening comes
Sun sinks low
Shadows tell
that it's time
to go
Mystic smiles
on faces wide
Comic styles
But their faces
don't glow
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
There was no love
to be found
There was no love
to be found
Wandering child
searching for
directions
that images don't show
It's a sin
beckoning
for the love
that they need
to know
As I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
There was no love
There was no love
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
Lonely streets
They don't reason with me,
they don't talk
They don't reason, they don't talk
They don't talk
They don't talk
Oh, no, lonely streets
Oh, no, only lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
There was no love,
no, no love to be found
There was no love,
no, no love to be found
Evening comes
Sun sinks low
Shadows tell
that it's time
to go
Mystic smiles
on faces wide
Comic styles
But their faces
don't glow
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
There was no love
to be found
There was no love
to be found
Wandering child
searching for
directions
that images don't show
It's a sin
beckoning
for the love
that they need
to know
As I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
There was no love
There was no love
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
Lonely streets
They don't reason with me,
they don't talk
They don't reason, they don't talk
They don't talk
They don't talk
Oh, no, lonely streets
Oh, no, only lonely streets
Love I Need lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
I say I can't get
You know I can't get
The love I need
The love I need
Maybe I'm just wasting time
Trying to get a fish on a line
Anyway, I'm a man, so I got to try
Maybe I'm just hard to please
But then again, it's just my needs
Maybe it's just the way that I am high
Because I can't get
No, no, I can't get
You know I can't get
The love I need
The love I need
I know that it's love it takes
To keep this man in me awake
And I find it hard to compromise
There's no mountain hard to climb
When I got the love I need full time
To keep me satisfied and it's just my size
Therefore I can't get
You know I can't get
No, no, I, I can't get
The love I need
The love I need
I don't want no part-time love
I don't want no part-time love
Don't want no part-time love
Don't want no part-time love
Because I can't get
I know I can't get
No, no, I, I can't get
The love I need
The love I need
Don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
And I don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
Don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
Don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
Part time love (The love I need)
(The love I need)
You know I can't get
The love I need
The love I need
Maybe I'm just wasting time
Trying to get a fish on a line
Anyway, I'm a man, so I got to try
Maybe I'm just hard to please
But then again, it's just my needs
Maybe it's just the way that I am high
Because I can't get
No, no, I can't get
You know I can't get
The love I need
The love I need
I know that it's love it takes
To keep this man in me awake
And I find it hard to compromise
There's no mountain hard to climb
When I got the love I need full time
To keep me satisfied and it's just my size
Therefore I can't get
You know I can't get
No, no, I, I can't get
The love I need
The love I need
I don't want no part-time love
I don't want no part-time love
Don't want no part-time love
Don't want no part-time love
Because I can't get
I know I can't get
No, no, I, I can't get
The love I need
The love I need
Don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
And I don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
Don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
Don't want no part-time love (The love I need)
Part time love (The love I need)
(The love I need)

Struggling Man lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Every man has a right to live
Love is all that we have to give
Together we struggle by our will to survive
And together we fight just to stay alive
Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on
As the sun lights the day and the moon lights the night
Struggling man keeps reaching for the higher heights
So we plan for tomorrow as we live for today
Like a flower we bloom, and then later fade away
Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on
Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on
Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man
Love is all that we have to give
Together we struggle by our will to survive
And together we fight just to stay alive
Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on
As the sun lights the day and the moon lights the night
Struggling man keeps reaching for the higher heights
So we plan for tomorrow as we live for today
Like a flower we bloom, and then later fade away
Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on
Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on
Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man
When You're Young lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Be wise, be free when you're young
When you're young
Well, someone told me, not long ago now
You're only young but for once
It's the one time in a lifetime
There is no second chance, second chance
So when you're young
Hold your head high and hold on to your dreams
There's a world waiting out there
Not always what it seems
Be wise, be free when you're young
When you're young
It's said, you got your freedom to make your own rules
Be nobody's footstool
And you may try now to change the world too
But don't let it change you, it can't change you
So when you're young
Hold your head high and hold on to your dreams
There's a world waiting out there
Not always what it seems
When you're young
When you're young
You see that many a people in my time of mend
Telling tales of regret
Step aside Grandma, step aside Grandpa
There are somethings I must get, I must get
When you're young
Hold your head high and hold on to your dreams
There's a world waiting out there
Not always what it seems
When you're young
When you're young
You know it's the right time
You know it's the right time
Said, I know
(When you're young)
Said, I know
(When you're young)
When you're young
When you're young
When you're young
Well, someone told me, not long ago now
You're only young but for once
It's the one time in a lifetime
There is no second chance, second chance
So when you're young
Hold your head high and hold on to your dreams
There's a world waiting out there
Not always what it seems
Be wise, be free when you're young
When you're young
It's said, you got your freedom to make your own rules
Be nobody's footstool
And you may try now to change the world too
But don't let it change you, it can't change you
So when you're young
Hold your head high and hold on to your dreams
There's a world waiting out there
Not always what it seems
When you're young
When you're young
You see that many a people in my time of mend
Telling tales of regret
Step aside Grandma, step aside Grandpa
There are somethings I must get, I must get
When you're young
Hold your head high and hold on to your dreams
There's a world waiting out there
Not always what it seems
When you're young
When you're young
You know it's the right time
You know it's the right time
Said, I know
(When you're young)
Said, I know

Sooner Or Later lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
It's getting to the point
Where I can't hang around no more
It's getting to the point
Where really have to open up the door
Times are changing
You better use your sense
Use what you've got
From coincidence
Hear me now!
Sooner or later you gonna have to stand up tall
Sooner or later when your backs against that wall
Sooner or later you'll have to be the one you are
And you just might find that you're out of time
And it's just too late
Hear me now!
Heavy burden gets you down
And pressure is all around
Sit around and hesitate
Say you're waiting for a lucky break
Life's for living
Better use your sense
Use what you've got
From coincidence
Hear me now!
Sooner or later you gonna have to stand up tall
Sooner or later when your backs against that wall
Sooner or later you'll have to be the one you are
Or you just might find that you're out of time
And it's just too late
Heavy burden gets you down
And pressure is all around
You sit around and hesitate
Say you're waiting for the lucky break
Life's for living
Better use your sense
Use what you've got
From coincidence
Hear me now!
Sooner or later you gonna have to stand up tall
Sooner or later when your backs against that wall
Sooner or later you'll have to be the one you are
Or you just might find that you're out of time
And it's just too late
Where I can't hang around no more
It's getting to the point
Where really have to open up the door
Times are changing
You better use your sense
Use what you've got
From coincidence
Hear me now!
Sooner or later you gonna have to stand up tall
Sooner or later when your backs against that wall
Sooner or later you'll have to be the one you are
And you just might find that you're out of time
And it's just too late

Heavy burden gets you down
And pressure is all around
Sit around and hesitate
Say you're waiting for a lucky break
Life's for living

Going Back West lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
I was born and raised in the ghetto
Talk with me and you'll know
I wasn't satisfied with living on the side
I started looking around for a possibility
But listen to my story, of what became of me
I met a businessman
Who said he got some friends back East
Said, "Why don't you come along?
Well we could help you atleast"
"Make you into a big star
By playing your guitar"
But the joke was on me
They left me flat to see
Going back West
(Going back West)
Yes I know, I'll make out alright
Going back West
(Going back West)
Where my music's playing all night
Going back West
(Going back West)
Think I'll do alright
Struggling for recognition, identity and respect
I got a lot of promises, they told me not to fret
Said, "We will stand by you
If the going gets rough"
But when I started sinking
They didn't even bluff
Going back West
(Going back West)
Yes I know, I'll make out alright
Going back West
(Going back West)
Where my music's playing all night
Going back West
(Going back West)
I think, I'll do alright
'Bout a year has come and gone
And left me standing here
Thinking how it could have been
'Cause still I ain't nowhere
They surely took me for a ride
Trampled on my pride
But I'll hold my head up high
Got no more tears to cry
Going back West
(Going back West)
Yes I know, I'll make out alright
Going back West
(Going back West)
Where my music's playing all night
Going back West
(Going back West)
I think, I'll do alright
Going back West
(Going back West)
Yes I know I'll make out alright
Going back West
(Going back West)
Where my music's playing all night
Going back West
(Going back West)
Think, I'll do alright
Going back West
(Going back West)
Yes I know, I'll make out alright
Going back West
(Going back West)
Where my music's playing all night
Going back West

I think, I'll do alright

You Can Get It If You Really Want lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
(originally by Desmond Dekker)
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try, try and try
You'll succeed at last
Persecution you must fear
Win or lose you got to get your share
You've got your mind set on a dream
You can get it though hard it may seem now
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try, try and try
You'll succeed at last
I know it - listen
Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the hotter the battle you see
Is the sweeter the victory now
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try, try and try
You'll succeed at last
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try, try and try
You'll succeed at last
Persecution you must fear
Win or lose you got to get your share
You've got your mind set on a dream
You can get it though hard it may seem now
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try, try and try
You'll succeed at last
I know it - listen
Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the hotter the battle you see
Is the sweeter the victory now
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try, try and try
You'll succeed at last
Rivers Of Babylon lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land?
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land?
Sing it out loud
Sing a song of freedom, brother
Sing a song of freedom, sister
So, let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, Fari
So, let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, Fari
We got to sing it together
Everyone
La la la la la
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land?
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land?
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land?
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land?
Sing it out loud
Sing a song of freedom, brother
Sing a song of freedom, sister
So, let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, Fari
So, let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Oh, Fari
We got to sing it together
Everyone
La la la la la
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land?
'Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song
In a strange land?
The Harder They Come lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
'Cause, as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
Hey, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
What I say now
What I Say now
What I say now
What I say, one time
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
'Cause, as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
Hey, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
What I say now
What I Say now
What I say now
What I say, one time
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
Johnny Too Bad lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Walking down the road
With your pistol in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
Walking down the road
With your ratchet in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad
You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad
One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to
One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
Walking down the road
With a pistol in your waist
Johnny, you're too bad
Walking down the road
With a ratchet in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad
You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad
One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to
One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
...
With your pistol in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
Walking down the road
With your ratchet in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad
You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad
One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to
One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
Walking down the road
With a pistol in your waist
Johnny, you're too bad
Walking down the road
With a ratchet in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad
You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad
One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to
One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock

And now rudeboys have a goil
'Cause them out of jail
Rudeboys cannot fail
'Cause them must get bail
Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail
A Shanty Town
Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail
A Shanty Town
Dem rudeboys get a probation
A Shanty Town
And rudeboy bomb up the town
A Shanty Town

At ocean eleven
And the rudeboys a go wail
'Cause them out of jail
Rudeboys cannot fail
'Cause them must get bail
Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail
A Shanty Town
Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail
A Shanty Town
Dem rudeboys get a probation
A Shanty Town
And rudeboy bomb up the town
A Shanty Town
Police get taller

A Shanty Town
Rudeboy a weep and a wail

Pressure Drop lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Hmm hmm hmm, yeah... [3x]
It is you (oh yeah)
It is you, you (oh yeah)
It is you (oh yeah)
Cause a pressure drop, oh pressure
Oh yeah pressure drop a drop on you
I say a pressure drop, oh pressure
Oh yeah pressure drop a drop on you
I say when it drops, oh you gonna feel it
Know that you were doing wrong.
Hmm hmm hmm, yeah... [3x]
I say a pressure drop, oh pressure
Oh yeah, pressure drop a drop on you [2x]
It is you (oh yeah)

Sitting In Limbo lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Sitting here in limbo
But I know it won't be long
Sitting here in limbo
Like a bird without a song
Well, they're putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll
Yeah, now, sitting here in limbo
Got some time to search my soul
Well, they're putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
I don't know where life will leave me
But I know where I have been
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I have seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is past and gone
This little boy is movin' on
Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo
Knowing that I have to go
Well, they're putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
I don't know where life will take me
But I know where I have been
I don't know what life will show me
But I know what I have seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship
That is past and gone
And now it's time to move along
Gonna lead me on now
Meanwhile, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
Sitting in limbo, limbo, limbo
Sitting in limbo, limbo, limbo
Sitting in limbo, limbo, limbo
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
But I know it won't be long
Sitting here in limbo
Like a bird without a song
Well, they're putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll
Yeah, now, sitting here in limbo
Got some time to search my soul
Well, they're putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
I don't know where life will leave me
But I know where I have been
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I have seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is past and gone
This little boy is movin' on
Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo
Knowing that I have to go
Well, they're putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
I don't know where life will take me
But I know where I have been
I don't know what life will show me
But I know what I have seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship
That is past and gone
And now it's time to move along
Gonna lead me on now
Meanwhile, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
Sitting in limbo, limbo, limbo
Sitting in limbo, limbo, limbo
Sitting in limbo, limbo, limbo
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
Time Will Tell lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
When I was just a little boy only six years old
I asked my daddy what big things my future hold
He said, Son, when you grow up to be a man,
The facts of life you will start to understand
Nobody knows just what tomorrow may bring
So I want to tell you now, and listen while I sing
Father said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
Now I'm a lonely man trying to make life on my own
Ever since the day I was born, I never have a happy home
Just like the river, I've been running ever since
The day I was born in that broken down little town
I'm wondering now just what my gain will be
'Cause it seems to me, happiness I'll never see
Mama said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
What he say now,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
Time keeps on changing like the weather and the seasons
For every mistake, Mama said, there must be a reason
After a storm, there's got to be a calm
So I think I'll wait a while and try to wear a smile (Wear a smile)
Mama said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
What he say now,
Time will tell - I know, I know!
Time will tell - said I know
Time alone will tell
One more time now
Time will tell - I believe
Time will tell - oh yes, I do!
Time alone will tell - I believe that...
Time alone will tell
When I was just a little boy only six years old
I asked my daddy what big things my future hold
He said, Son, when you grow up to be a man,
The facts of life you will start to understand
Nobody knows just what tomorrow may bring
So I want to tell you now, and listen while I sing
Father said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
Now I'm a lonely man trying to make life on my own
Ever since the day I was born, I never have a happy home
Just like the river, I've been running ever since
The day I was born in that broken down little town
I'm wondering now just what my gain will be
'Cause it seems to me, happiness I'll never see
Mama said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
What he say now,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
Time keeps on changing like the weather and the seasons
For every mistake, Mama said, there must be a reason
After a storm, there's got to be a calm
So I think I'll wait a while and try to wear a smile (Wear a smile)
Mama said,
Time will tell, time will tell
Time alone will tell
What he say now,
Time will tell - I know, I know!
Time will tell - said I know
Time alone will tell
One more time now
Time will tell - I believe
Time will tell - oh yes, I do!
Time alone will tell - I believe that...
