First heard this over 30 years ago... I still can listen to it everyday and not get tired of it in the least... bless all y'all who feels it and knows it too...

WHO FEELS IT • Bunny Wailer • 1977

Every man thinks his burden's the heaviest
But it's common they know because they feel

And who feels it know it, Lord
Who feels it knows it, yeah
And who feels it know it, Lord
Who feels it knows it, yeah

Now don't sit by your window
Gazing at the streets
Sorrying for your self cause you've got nothing to eat
There's a light within you, so let it shine, shine
Git up and move and start trying, trying, trying

Just git up and move
Come on git up and move
Get right in the groove
Don't you just sit there - git in the groove
Just git up and move
Get right in the groove

For linger you linger, cry you must cry
Now don't point your fingers and you'll get by
Don't be no moonshine-darling and sit down and cry
Please don't you give up now before you give it a try

Before you give it a try
Come on give it a try, try try
Before you give it a try, try, try
And don't you give up now don't give
Up now don't give up now don't you
Give up now before you give it a try
Before you give it a try, try, try

Papa no want, no want, no want, no no
No want, no more bondage
Long, long, long, long time he's been in slavery
Mama no want, no want, no want,
No more pain, no pain and worry
For its a long time now she's been unhappy

And Who feels it knows it, yeah
Who feels it knows it, Lord
Every night and every day
Who feels it knows it, yeah
By their blood and sweat they pay
Who feels it knows it, yeah

But linger you linger cry you must cry
No don't point you fingers and you'll get by
Don't be no moon-shine darling and sit down and cry
And please don't you give up now before you give it a try
Before you give it a try come on

Give it a try, try, try
Come on and give it a try
Alright now
Give it a try, try, try
Before you give it a try mmm-hmmm
Give it a try, try, try,
And don't you give up now don't you
Give up now don't give up now
Before you give it a try

Come on, come on, come on
Try, try, try
Before you give it a try
Come on give it a try, try, try
No trial - no failure
Come on give it a try, try, try
Hey hey, you want sunshine? Hmmm?
Give it a try
