Jimmy Cliff - Under the Sun Moon and Stars Lyrics

Yes, as I was sayin', I like work, you know
But when I work I must get paid
You don't know the sound I'm tryin' to tell you
Listen, try to understand, listen

My forparents worked, from sun-up, 'til sun-down
Peace could not be found now they're under the ground
I've heard them complain and cried out in pain
Seeking peaceful gain under the sun, moon and stars

Won't happen to me, I'm not blind, you see
I've got to be free, I want it right here on earth
Got to have some fun, 'for my life is done
Let happiness run under the sun, moon and stars

Under the sun, under the moon, under the stars, wherever you are
Got to have some fun under the sun, moon and stars
Got to get some fun under the sun, moon and stars

Don't want it on Venus, Saturn nor Uranus
Don't want it on Pluto, I want it right here on earth
Don't want it on Jupiter, Neptune nor on Mercury
Don't want it on Mars, but under the sun, moon and stars

Under the sun, under the moon, under the stars, wherever you are
Got to have some fun under the sun, moon and stars
Let happiness run under the sun, moon and stars

So you didn't understand what I was tryin' to tell you
Got tell you one more time, listen

Under the sun, under the moon, under the stars, wherever you are
Got to have some fun under the sun, moon and stars
Let happiness run under the sun, moon and stars

Got to find some peace under the sun, moon and stars
Each and everyone under the sun, moon and stars
