Under The Sun Moon And Stars Lyrics - The Emi Years 1973-'75 - Jimmy Cliff

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
