They tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
The minute you're born to when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
As sure as the sun will shine (ooh)
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine (ooh)
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
Oh, they think they've got the battle won
I say, "Forgive them, Lord, they know not what they've done"
As sure as the sun will shine (ooh)
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine (ooh)
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
ย
I keep on fighting 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
Than living as a puppet or a slave
As sure as the sun will shine (ooh)
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine (ooh)
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
ย
I definitely have a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
The minute you're born to when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
As sure as the sun will shine (ooh)
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine (ooh)
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
Oh, they think they've got the battle won
I say, "Forgive them, Lord, they know not what they've done"
As sure as the sun will shine (ooh)
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine (ooh)
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
ย
And I keep on fighting 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
Than living as a puppet or a slave
As sure as the sun will shine (ooh)
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine (ooh)
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Well, the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
