Jimmy Cliff Album

Your love, lifting me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it it up
Quench my desire
And I'll be at your side, forever more

[Chorus]
You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)

Now once, I was down hearted
Disappointment, was my closest friend
But then you, came and it soon departed
And you know he never
Showed his face again

[Chorus]
That's why your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)

[Organ solo]

I'm so glad, I've finally found you
That someone, in a million girls
And I whip, my loving arms around you
I can stand up, and face the world

[Chorus]
That's why your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Everyday your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)

Lift me up, woman (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on lifting (keeps on lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (keeps on lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
(fade out)

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 fear
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

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

I know it - listen

Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the hotter the battle you see
Is the sweeter the victory now

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

(Jimmy Cliff)

Eh-yeah, wonderful world, beautiful people

You and your girl things could be pretty

But underneath this there is a secret

That nobody can repeat - mmh

Take a look at the world and the state that it's in today

I am sure you'll agree we all could make it a better way

With our love put together ev'rybody learn to love each other

Instead of fussing and fighting, cheating but biting

Scandalising and hating

Baby, we could have a wonderful world, beautiful people

You and your girl things could be pretty

But underneath this there is a secret

That nobody can repeat - yeah now

Man and woman, girl and boy, let us try to give a helping hand

This I know and I'm sure that the love we all could understand

This is our world, can't you see

Ev'rybody wants to live and be free

Instead of fussing and fighting, cheating but biting

Scandalising and hating

Yeah, we could have a wonderful world, beautiful people

You and your girl things could be pretty

But underneath this there is a secret

That nobody can repeat - mmh yeah yeah

We could have a wonderful world, beautiful people ....

from 'Wonderful World, Beautiful People' (1970)

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and
I merely survive because of my pride.

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left and she didn't say why
Well I guess I have to try.
Many rivers to cross but just where to begin
I'm playing for time
There'll be times I find myself thinking
Of committing some dreadful crime.

I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.

Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone.
All of the bad feelings have disappeared.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.

(ooh...) Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's going to be a bright (bright)
bright (bright) sunshiny day.
Yeah, hey, it's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright)
sunshiny day.

If the rebel in me
Can touch the rebel in you
And the rebel in you
Can touch the rebel in me
And the rebels we be
Is gonna set us free
Then it would bring out the rebel
Bring out the rebel
Bring out the rebel in me
If the lover in you
Can touch the lover in me
And the lover in me
Can touch the lover in you
And the lovers we be
Will bring sweet harmony
Then it would bring out the love
Bring out the love
Bring out all the love in me
My love
Is deeper than the ocean
Our love
Is in need of sweet devotion
Come on
Because you got the potion
To bring out the love in me
And I would bring out the love in you
Let the lover in you
Touch the lover in me
And the rebel in me
Will touch the rebel in you
And the lovers we be
Will bring sweet harmony
Then it would bring out the love
Bring out the love
Bring out all the love in us
My love
Is deeper than the ocean
Our love
Is in need of sweet devotion
Come on
Because you got the notion
To bring out the love in me
And I would bring out the love in you
Let the rebel in me
Touch the rebel in you
And the rebel in you
Will touch the rebel in me
And the lovers we be
Will bring sweet harmony
Then it would bring out the love
Bring out the love

Bring out the love
Said I wanna bring out the love
Bring out the love
Bring out the love
Bring out all the love in me
Bring out the rebel
Said I wanna bring out the rebel
Bring out the rebel
Said I wanna bring out the rebel
