Well they tell me thereaas a pie in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day your born
And when you die
Oh Lord, they never seem to hear
Even your cry
And as sure as the sun will shine
Iaam gonna get my share of whataas mine
And then
[Chorus]
The bigger they come
The harder they fall
One and all
Oh yeah they bigger they come
The harder they fall
Well the oppressors are trying to get me down
Trying to drive me under the ground
And they think that they have got their battle won
I say, aaforgive them Lord
They no not what theyaave doneaa
And as sure as the sun will shine
Iaam gonna get my share of whataas mine
And then
[Chorus]
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when youaare dead man your gone
But Iaad rather be a free man in my grave
Oh, than living like a puppet or a slave
And as sure as the sun will shine
Iaam gonna get my share of whataas mine
And then
