Struggling Man
Rising Beyond Life's Challenges: Jimmy Cliff's Struggling Man
Lyrics
Every man has a right to live
Every individual has the right to live.
Love is all that we have to give
Love is the primary thing we possess and can offer.
Together we struggle by your will to survive
We collectively struggle due to the desire to survive according to your (the person being addressed) determination or will.
And together we fight just to stay alive
Together, we fight as a group just to remain alive.
Struggling man has got to move
A person facing difficulties must keep progressing.
Struggling man, no time to lose
There's no time to waste for someone enduring hardship.
I'm a struggling man
The singer identifies as someone facing challenges.
And I've got to move on
The struggling person must continue moving forward.
As the sun lights the day and the moon lights the night
The natural order of the sun illuminating the day and the moon the night continues, while the person facing struggles strives for greater achievements.
Struggling man keeps reaching for the higher heights
Despite difficulties, the struggling individual aims for higher goals or aspirations.
So we plan for tomorrow as we live for today
Planning for the future is essential while living in the present.
Like a flower we bloom and then later fade away
Similar to a flower's life cycle, we blossom and eventually fade away.
Struggling man has got to move
Someone facing hardships must keep progressing.
Struggling man, no time to lose
Urgency exists for the struggling person; there's no time to waste.
I'm a struggling man
The singer reaffirms being someone in a challenging situation.
And I've got to move on
The struggling individual must continue moving forward.
Struggling man has got to move
Emphasizes the importance of progress for a person in difficulties.
Struggling man, no time to lose
Reiterates the urgency for the struggling individual; there's no time to waste.
I'm a struggling man
The singer reaffirms being someone facing hardships.
And I've got to move on
The struggling individual must continue moving forward.
Struggling man, struggling man
Repeated emphasis on the struggles faced by the individual.
Struggling man, struggling man
