Well, they tell me up, up high up in the sky
Waitin' for me when I die
Between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear it in your cry

So it's sure that 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
Oh, the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

Well, the opposites are tryin' to keep me down
Tryin' to drive me underground
They think that they've got the battle won
Say forgive them for they know not what they've done

For it's sure that 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
Yeah, yeah, the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

And I'll keep on fightin' 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
Livin' as a puppet or a slave

So it's sure that 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
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all, yeah
Oh, the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all, yeah
