Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day
you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall one and all
Ooh the harder they come
The harder they fall one and all
Well the oppressors are
trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that
they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord
they know not what they've done
'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall one and all
Ooh the harder they come
Harder they fall one and all
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall one and all
Ooh the harder they come
Harder they fall one and all
Hey the harder they come
Harder they fall one and all
What I say now
What I Say now
What I say now
What I say one time
The harder they come the harder
they fall one and all
The harder they come the harder
they fall one and all
