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
Love me, love me
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Love me, love me
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Love me and let's come together
And be as one
Love me like brothers and sisters
And we'll be strong
And between you and me we'll find perfect peace
As we learn to live as one family
We'll chase jealousy with sweet harmony
And find it, my love, for eternity
Love me, love me
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Love me, love me, 'cause I love you too
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Love me and let's walk together
In love and life

And make things right
And between you and me we'll find perfect peace
As we learn to live as one family
We'll chase jealousy with sweet harmony
And find it, my love, for eternity

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.
