They took the children's bread
And they gave it to the dogs
Making so many people laugh so high

Why those cats get fat?
And came all the rats
Stole away the cheese
And doing as they please

Give the people what they want,
food, clothing and shelter
and reggae music
reggae music - is sweeter everywhere

Give the people what they want,
Clean air and no pollution
reggae music - is sweeter everywhere

Goodbye yesterday, welcome today
I've been waiting for a long, long time
Goodbye yesterday, welcome today
I know every thing's gonna be fine
Good to see you here, how you doin'?
Grab a chair, I'd like you here to stay
Got a dream onto I've been brewin'
Dreams that saw me through a rainy day

I've got a hard road to travel
And a rough rough way to go
Said it's a hard road to travel
And a rough rough way to go
But I can't turn back, my heart is fixed
My mind's made up, I'll never stop
My faith will see, see me through
Let me tell you

[Chorus:]
Hello sunshine!
Will old darkness be my friend?
Hello sunshine!
To this you can put an end
Hello sunshine!
Why don't you please come around

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 sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day

Oh yes, I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Whoa, I'm free, nobody now owns me
Yes, I'm free, nobody owns me
I'm a free man living in a free country

No, no, no, baby, you don't own me
If you think you do, you're sadly mistaken
I do what I wish and I go where I like, I'm free

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, terribly sorry
I'm sorry and I want you to know

I hurt you and I want you to forgive me
I know I hurt you and I want you to forgive me
'Cause I'm sorry and I want you to know

You tell me you're different
You tell me you're strange
You tell me that there is something wrong with your brain

So your mother found God
And your dad likes to drink
But you're not weird as you'd like me to think

The eagle find him place in darkness
Fisherman find him place by the sea
Light up with that in Kingston town
Mi bredren know you a come home without me
Ev'ry road have a bend, ev'ry wicked have an end
What your hands commit I know your body mus' feel
In this wicked, wicked war your time has come
You don't live right you will have no more fun

O-o-o-ooo oooooo o-o-o-ooo here I stand
With my head down in my hand wondering
What on earth I have done wrong
There’s a cloud that has overshadowed me
Blocks the light from my eyes I can not see
But I know just where I want a be
Right or wrong I’ve got to face my destiny
Somebody tell me to

The Lion say "I am king and I reign"
The Lion say "I am king in this range"
"No more kings must be in this backyard"
The Lion say "I am king and I reign"

Elephant say "I am King 'cause I'm strong"
The Giraffe say "I am King 'cause my neck is long"
"There's no doubt that you are all wrong"

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

Roses are red, violets are blue
Believe me, I love you
Let's not be apart
'Cause you're the rose of my heart
And sweet rose, you are my queen
You're my Miss Jamaica
My Miss Jamaica
You're my Miss Jamaica

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

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 the shores
From John Hawkins to Henry

If the rebel in me
can touch the rebel in you
and the rebel in you
can touch the rebel in me
and the rebels we be
is gonna set us free
then it would bring out the rebel
bring out the rebel

Come on make we rock, rock, rock samba reggae
Come on make we jam, jam, jam samba reggae
Come on make we rock, rock, rock samba reggae
Come on make we jam, jam, jam samba reggae

Come on make we jump, jump, jump samba reggae
Come on make we bump, bump, bump samba reggae
Come on make we jump, jump, jump samba reggae

Сидя здесь в заточении, но я знаю здесь я долго не буду
Сидя здесь в заточении, я как птица без песен
Я не оказываю никого сопротивления
Но я знаю что моя вера приведет меня на небеса

Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the dice to roll
Sitting here in limbo, got some time to search my soul
Well they're putting up resistance

Stepping out of limbo, stepping alive
Stepping out of limbo, stepping to life
Stepping out of limbo, stepping alive
Stepping out of limbo, we know where we've been
Stepping out of limbo, we've been sitting for too long
Stepping out of limbo, and we're singing a new song

We gonna keep on putting up resistance

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

Well they tell me
There's a pie in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day
You're born and when you die
Oh Lord, they never
Seem to hear even your cry

THE HARDER THEY COME- Jimmy Cliff

Hey

Now that I've lost ev'rything to you
You said you want to start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you leaving
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world

Eh-yeah, wonderful world, beautiful people
You and your girl, things could be pretty
But underneath this there is a secret
That nobody can reveal
Take a look at the world
And the state that it's in today
I am sure you'll agree
We all could make it a better way

Eh, yeah
Wonderful world, beautiful people
You and your girl, things could be pretty
But underneath this, there is a secret
That nobody can reveal

Take a look at the world
And the state that it’s in today

Chorus:
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
