Let it go
Let your body go
When the music flow
Got nothing to lose
When we're dancing to the music
It's a vibration
A sensation
A natural mystic
Let it go
Let your body go
When the music flow
Got nothing to lose
When we're dancing to the music
Let it go, you've got to let it go
Let it go, you've got to let it flow
Sometimes we just got to let go
Of everything we think we know
Sometimes we just got to be free
No one telling us how we should be
Let it go
Let your body go
When the music flow
I got nothing to lose
When I'm dancing to the music
Just call me music
And don't call me nothing else
All your might
Say we dancing through the night
With all your might
Say we grooving through the night
Sometimes you just got to let go
Of everything you think we know
Sometimes we just got to be free
No one telling us how we should be
Let it go
Let your body go
Let it go
A sensation, a natural mystic
Let your body go
Let it go now
Free your soul now
Let it go
Let Your Yeah Be Yeah lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
You keep telling me yes
But you don't mean it
You keep telling me no
And try to lean it
You're giving me buts and maybe
You know this will drive me crazy
Why can't you tell it like it is?
And let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
Because I'm on my guard and
I'm watching you from head to toe
So that let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no
You wear a plastic smile
I know by your eyes
You speak with indefinite style
You're telling me lies
You've got to face reality
What is wrong with you and me?
Why can't you free your honesty?
And let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
Because I'm on my guard and
I'm watching you from head to toe
So you better let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no
You keep telling me yes
But you don't mean it
You keep telling me no
And try to lean it
You're giving me buts and maybe
You know this will drive me crazy
Why can't you tell it like it is?
You better let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah
And your no be no, now
But you don't mean it
You keep telling me no
And try to lean it

Son of Man has risen
Up from the prison
Broken the spell and anyone can tell
Son of Man is free

You are alive and there’s nothing to hide
Son of Man is free
Walk upon the seas
We’re common people with integrity

Too Many Rivers To Cross lyrics - Jimmy Cliff
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well, I guess I'll have to cry
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering, I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
And I merely survive because of my will...
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well, I guess I'll have to cry
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering, I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
And I merely survive because of my will...
