Man this song is so powerful.. I remember my uncles play this song on their sound systems and mi and mi likkle cousin them dancing in the yard. Tears comes to my eye when I hear this song all good memories..💞💞💋
Isn't it strange how princesses and kings In clown-ragged capers in sawdust rings While common people like you and me We'll be builders for eternity Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and the book of rules Each must make his life as flowing in Tumbling block on a stepping stone While common people like you and me We'll be builders for eternity Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and the book of rules Look when the rain has fallen from the sky You know the sun will be only with us for a while While common people like you and me We'll be builders for eternity Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and the book of rules
Based on a poem by R. L. Sharpe from the 1890s Isn’t it strange That princes and kings, And clowns that caper In sawdust rings, And common people Like you and me Are builders for eternity? Each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass, A book of rules; And each must make - Ere life is flown - A stumbling block Or a steppingstone.
Wonderful combination of 1890s poetry and beautiful reggae
Can't believe this is 50yrs old!! Where has time gone.

Madddd classic
Isn't it strange how princesses and kings
In clown-ragged capers in sawdust rings
While common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules
Each must make his life as flowing in
Tumbling block on a stepping stone
While common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules
Look when the rain has fallen from the sky
You know the sun will be only with us for a while
While common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules
Based on a poem by R. L. Sharpe from the 1890s
Isn’t it strange
That princes and kings,
And clowns that caper
In sawdust rings,
And common people
Like you and me
Are builders for eternity?
Each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass,
A book of rules;
And each must make -
Ere life is flown -
A stumbling block
Or a steppingstone.
