They say the sun an-a shines for all
But-a yin some people world, it never shine at all mm-mm-mm
They say love is a stream that will find its course
I mean - some-a people think life is a dream
So they making matters worse

But no matter what the crisis is;
No matter what the crisis is:
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' your thing!
(give jah all the thanks and praises!)
Givin' it, givin' it, givin' it, givin' it!
(give jah all the thanks and praises!)

So - so - so much have been said, so little (been done) been done
They still killin' killin' the people
And they - and they havin' (havin' their fun) havin'-a - havin'-a lots of fun
Killin' the people, oo-yoo! (havin' fun) havin' their fun!
They just want to be the leader
In the 'ouse of the risin' sun

But no matter what the crisis is
Oh, no, oh, no no - no what the crisis is
Do your - live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
(give jah all the thanks and praises!)
Live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
(give jah all the thanks and praises!)

They say the sun-un-un-un shines for all
But-a yin some people world, it never shine at all!
They say love is a stream
That will find its course, and every river runs to sea
Some people still think life is a dream
So they so they makin' makin' it worse

No matter what the crisis is
No matter what the crisis is
Do it: live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
(give jah all the thanks and praises!)
Live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
(give jah all the thanks and praises!)
(give jah all the thanks and praises!)
His mercies endureth for ever, yeah!
(give jah all the thanks and praises!)
Oh, children, come on, and give jah -
(give jah all the thanks and praises!)
Children, come on, and give jah
(give jah all the thanks and praises!)
