One more day in the struggle 

Have to get up and go juggle 

Yu done know 

Want a little sugar inna de pan 

Me nah see fi trouble no man 



Oh oh... 



Said I had a 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 

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 



The rich is wise in his conceit 

But the fool with overstanding search him out 

Poor man mourn the rich riches increase 

Be not grieved, riches are not forever 

Envy not the oppressor chose none of his ways 

Be not wise in his own eyes 

Only Jah you must praise 

Strive not with a man without cause 

If he have done no harm 

Let by gone be by gone 



Said I had a 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 

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 



This nine to five is a joke 

Compare to the pressure 

The minister say 

The economy is getting better 

Misleading the people 

The mass still suffer, oh Jah 

Scarce benefits and spoils 

Jah know that we feel it 

Day and night we cry, cry, cry 

Jah know that we feel it 

Who can help a weeping soul like I
