Lyrics: Youssou N'Dour. Ligeey.

It is almost impossible to catch up
And no one knows what the next day will bring

It's time to get to work
I challenge you to work!
There's no secret about this
You reap what you sow

After you've missed a day's work
It is almost impossible to catch up
And no one knows what the next day will bring

It's time to get to work
I challenge you to work!
Hard work is the only key to dignity
Listen my friend, no matter how menial that work is
I cherish it more than anything else

When you are a position of authority
You should set good examples for others to follow
Be at work before everybody else
And try to be the last one to leave

After you've missed a day's work
It is almost impossible to catch up
And no one knows what the next day will bring [x2]

It's time to get to work
I challenge you to work!

After you've missed a day's work
It is almost impossible to catch up
And no one knows what the next day will bring

Work is important
So I challenge all of you to make work a priority
No matter how young you are
Let me remind you that work is the only key to dignity
Your presence is essential
At work by 9
Out by 10 to run your own errands

Let me remind you that
After you've missed a day's work
It is almost impossible to catch up
And no one knows what the next day will bring

It's time to get to work
I challenge you to work!

No matter what, let's make work a priority
It builds a nation
Let's work

A day like this will come
A day like the will go
A day like this will come
A day like the will go
A day like this will come
A day like the will go, so easy
