Sooner Or Later

Jimmy Cliff

It's getting to the point

Where I can't hang around no more

It's getting to the point

Where really have to open up the door



Times are changing

You better use your sense

Use what you've got

From coincidence

Hear me now!



Sooner or later you gonna have to stand up tall

Sooner or later when your backs against that wall

Sooner or later you'll have to be the one you are

And you just might find that you're out of time

And it's just too late



Hear me now!



Heavy burden gets you down

And pressure is all around

Sit around and hesitate

Say you're waiting for a lucky break



Life's for living

Better use your sense

Use what you've got

From coincidence

Hear me now!



Sooner or later you gonna have to stand up tall

Sooner or later when your backs against that wall

Sooner or later you'll have to be the one you are

Or you just might find that you're out of time

And it's just too late



Heavy burden gets you down

And pressure is all around

You sit around and hesitate

Say you're waiting for the lucky break



Life's for living

Better use your sense

Use what you've got

From coincidence

Hear me now!



Sooner or later you gonna have to stand up tall

Sooner or later when your backs against that wall

Sooner or later you'll have to be the one you are

Or you just might find that you're out of time

And it's just too late
