Struggling Man

Jerry Garcia Band Jimmy Cliff

November 20, 1990

Lyrics

Every man has a right to live
Love is all that we have to give
Together we struggle by our will to survive
And together we fight just to stay alive

Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on

As the sun lights the day and the moon lights the night
Struggling man keeps reaching for the higher heights
So we plan for tomorrow as we live for today
Like a flower we bloom, and then later fade away

Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on

Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on

Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man

“They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here”
