Jimmy Cliff Glastonbury

You are back at Glastonbury 2011 on BBC Four.

Jimmy Cliff last appeared in 2008. I want you to know that we have had

a trek in muddy conditions right over to the other side of the

Glastonbury site to bring you this. It is hard to convey how revered

Jimmy Cliff is in his homeland. He is the only living musician to be

tricky concept album since 2009 about the nature of existence. It

is called Existence. His classic film, The Harder They Come remains

the definition of that rude boy culture. Here he is Dr Jimmy cap

cliff. This programme contains scenes of

# But I can't seem to find

# My way over

# Wandering I've been lost

# As I travel along

# The white cliffs of Dover

# Many rivers I've crossed

# And it's only my will

# That kept me alive

# I've been licked Washed up for years

# And I merely survive

# Because of my pride

# And the loneliness wouldn't leave me alone

# It was such a drag to be on my own

# My woman left and she didn't say why

# Well, I guess I had to cry

# There were many, many, many, many many waters to cross over

# Been so hard to find my way over

# Kept me playing for time

# There were times I found myself

# Thinking I'd committed some dreadful crime

# Many rivers I've crossed

# There were times I found myself

# Many rivers I've crossed

# Love was my foundation

# Wisdom is my capital

# Struggle is my manner

# Truth is my redeemer

# Sorrow been my companion

# Love is my foundation

# True love

# Many rivers I've crossed

# It's been so hard to find

# The way over

# Wandering, I been lost

# As I travelled along

# The white cliffs of Dover

# Over...

# Wooh! #

How are you

How are you feeling? # I can see clearly

# I can see clearly now the rain # Gone are the dark clouds

# Oh, yes, I can make it now the pain is gone

# All of the bad feelings have disappeared

# Here is that rainbow I've been praying for

# It's gonna be a bright Bright Bright Bright sunshiny day, ooh

# Look all around There's nothing but blue skies

# Look straight ahead There's nothing but blue skies

# I can see clearly now the rain is gone

# I can see all obstacles in my way

# Here is that rainbow I've been praying for

# It's gonna be a bright Bright Bright Bright sunshiny day
