Lyrics: There's a day of feasting and a day of famine

Day of sadness and a day of joy

You could see in the day of feasting

Life isn't just a little play-like toy

Prof, you have got good taste for music. Jimmy Cliff is one of the most 

philosophical of singers. I have followed his music religiously since its

early days.

Regards,

Anthony Akinola
