Jimmy Cliff OM (born James Chambers, 1 April 1948, Somerton District, St. James, Jamaica) is a Jamaican ska and reggae musician, best known among mainstream audiences for songs such as "Sittin' in Limbo", "You Can Get It If You Really Want It", "Many Rivers to Cross" from soundtrack to The Harder They Come which helped popularize reggae across the world, and for his cover of "I Can See Clearly Now" from the film, Cool Runnings. It's one of life's great ironies that today, outside of reggae circles, Cliff is better known for his film appearances than his music. Even after a string of hits, the singer never quite managed to break into the mainstream, although in the late 1960s and early 1970s, he seemed poised for international stardom. Wikipedia

Verse 1Well, 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		RefrainSo 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
Verse 2Well, 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		Refrain'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
Verse 3And 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		RefrainSo as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share right 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
