I say don't hang yourself with no rope
Have faith and continue live up in hope
Chorus:
Everybody bawling, one day, one day
Everybody hoping somehow, someway
Everybody bawling one day, one day
Everybody hoping somehow, someway
You might not be able to buy a house
Upon the hillside
Find it difficult just to
Purchase a ride
But you can live Pon the flat
Take a bus and still survive
All you got to do is
Get yourself organized
'Cause the wickedest thing
Is when you don't have hope
And you full of despair
And you receive and get deceive
And you just don't believe
That you can reach somewhere
Chorus
'Cause there is ups and down and turn around
In everybody life
But you must learn and stay firm
And keep you goal in sight
Get up stand up and live up
And fight with all your might
And one day one day me say
Your future will bright
Because who Jah Jah bless I must confess
Say no guy can cuss
And mi granny always say
Grandson, one day you must pass the worse
Chorus
You must always be optimistic
Inna you thought
Check say the future
A go better than the past
Anything you do you do it
Straight from the heart
And tek weh you get
Till you get weh you want
Because the strain and the pain
And economical gain me know you can't keep up
Mi know it rough mi know it tough
But you still must stand up
Mi know it hot but hush
Chorus
You might get up every day
And see things a run
And question yourself say
How you no get none
But, humble daughter, patient son
Soon and very soon
Fi you slice a go come
'Cause it's no fun and it's no joke
Mi say you must have aspiration and dreams
And if, so be the case
Well you better make haste
Find the ways and means
Chorus
You might not be able to buy a house
Upon the hillside
Find it difficult just to
Purchase a ride
But you can live Pon the flat
Take a bus and still survive
All you got to do is
Get yourself organized
'Cause the wickedest thing
Is when you don't have hope
And you full of despair
And you receive and get deceive
And you just don't believe
That you can reach somewhere
