The Harder They Come (c)1972 Island Records
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
You can get it if you really want,
You can get it if you really want,
You can get it if you really want,
but you must try, try and try,
try and try,
you'll succeed at last.
Persecution you must bear,
win or lose, you got to get your share,
You've got your mind set on a dream,
you can get it, though hard it may seem, now.
Refrain
I know it - listen
Rome was not built in a day,
Opposition will come your way,
but the harder the battle you see,
it's the sweeter the victory, now.

@FlamesBond007Damn just because you like something doesn't mean everyone has to. If they don't it doesn't mean they have a sad life, just means they don't like the song. ( p.s I actually like the song and am a fan of Jimmy)

God forgive me but why did you make the world with so many sad and stupid people? How can anyone hate this song?! The message of the song is positive, encouraging mankind to strive for the best. Yet here we have 18 sad angry people disliking it. Their lives must be really messed up! hahahaha!!! and I'm sure there are more to come. I'm really sorry for these people.

love Jimmy Cliff. I'm 60 - classical musician. Doesn't stop me from being bowled over by Jimmy Cliff or Maria Callas singing Turandot! No point in comparing! My God son has his own band, and I encourage him also to have an open palate. The more he knows about all types of music the better. It will only make him a better musician in the genre he choses to be in or develop. Multi-coloured/cultured planet is a wonderous thing!
