Lyrics
[Intro] One more day in the struggle Haffi get up and go juggle, you done know Water and a little sugar inna we pan Me nah seek fi trouble no man Oh oh [Chorus] Said, I had close one yesterday Jah put an angel over me Be strong Hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down, keep your head above the water Say, one day things must get better Be strong And I say, hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down, keep your head above the water Chant, one day things must get better [Verse 1] The rich is wise in his own conceit But the fool with overstanding searcheth him out Poor man mourn, the rich riches increase I said, be not grieved, riches are not forever Envy not the oppressor, choose none of his ways Be not wise in thine own eyes, only Jah you must praise Strive not with a man without cause If he have done you no harm, let bygones be bygones [Chorus] Said, I had close one yesterday Jah put an angel over me Be strong And I say, hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down, keep your head above that water One day things must get better Be strong And I say, hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down, keep your head above the water Say, one day things must get better [Verse 2] This 9 to 5 is a joke compared to the pressure The minister says the economy is getting better Misleading the people, the mass still suffers Oh Jah, scarce benefits and spoils Oh Jah knows that we feel it, woah, woah, woah, woah Day and night we cry, cry, cry Jah knows that we feel it, woo, woo, woo Who can help a weeping soul like I? [Chorus] Said, I had close one yesterday Jah put an angel over me Be strong And I say, hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down, keep your head above that water One day things must get better Be strong And I bawl, hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down, keep your head above the water Say, one day things must get better [Verse 1] The rich is wise in his own conceit But the poor with overstanding searcheth him out Poor man mourn, the rich riches increase I said, be not grieved, riches are not forever Envy not the oppressor, choose none of his ways Be not wise in thine own eyes, only Jah you must praise Strive not with a one without cause If they have done thee no harm, let bygones be bygones [Outro] Said, I had close one yesterday Jah put an angel over me Said, I had close one yesterday Jah Jah put an angel - And I say, be strong, oh oh Hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't you go down, keep your head above the water Chant, one day things must get better Be strong And I bawl, hold a firm meditation One day things must get better Don't go down, keep your head above the water One day things must get better...
