O they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day when you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear you when you cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm going to get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall
One and all.

Jimmy Cliff

Many rivers to cross,
But I can't seem to find my way over.

Jimmy Cliff

You can get it if you really want,
But you must try, try and try, try and try.
You Can Get It If You Really Want (1970)
I think the most important thing for you to do in the meantime is live. It is a very involving job,
which takes much concentration and practice.
