Jimmy Cliff - The Harder They Come


Song Lyrics Biblical Reference
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
Isaiah 45:15 - Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
 
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Psalm 9:3 - When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
Psalm 9:3 - When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
Psalm 106:42 - Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
And they think that they have got the battle won Psalm 35:25 - Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done Luke 23:34 - Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll 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 Psalm 88:5 - Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
Than living as a puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
