seven times seven

Jimmy Cliff

These are the words of the angels
Let us come down to the ages
Take them and live
As they were good yesterday
They're still good today
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
You got to be in it
If you want to win it, win it
You cannot be a sinner
You gotta be a winner, winner
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
You gotta know the bitter
To enjoy the sweeter, sweeter
You know you cannot fake it
You just gotta make it, make it
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
So if you're mediocre
Then you are a joker, joker
So take in to the zenith
Cause you got no limit, limit
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
So leap up, you're the runner
You gotta be a planner
Living more than lies
The upful lifetime
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
You gotta be a winner
You cannot be a sinner, sinner
So if you're mediocre
Then you are a joker, joker
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
Seven, seven, seven, gonna seven
I said it, seven, I said it
Seven, seven
When you get up on
Worst fall you'll be rising
When you get up on
Worst fall you'll be rising
When you get up on
Worst fall you'll be rising
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
Seven times to rise
Seven times to fall
Seven, seven time, seven
Seven, seven, seven time, seven
So he are the words of the angels
Let us come down to the ages
Take them and live
Use them, digest them, respect them
For us they were good yesterday
They are still good today
And forever
