Don’t Let It Get You Down

Shake off the dust, old friend old friend The time has come to sing again The song whose words you have forgotten It's been a long time, a good long time And you've been clouding up your mind With the drink the lies behind which you've been hiding Did the way seem too long Did you exchange your right for wrong Did you give up Did you get lost Don't let it get you down, down down Down down down The world can knock you 'round Get up in a hurry off the ground ground ground Ground ground ground Take a step forward my friend and don't you worry Are you down down down, down down down The world can knock you 'round Get up in a hurry off the ground ground ground Ground ground ground Take a step forward my friend and don't you worry What did you say to the earth that bore you? "Everything is meaningless and I abhor you And I don't want any more to do with you" Did the father whose care you were put into Turn his back and walk away from you It hurts, it hurts, it hurts But you are not that man The same blood runs through your veins But you can stand And you can sing your own True Love song Don't let it get you down down down Down down down The world can knock you round Get up in a hurry off the ground ground ground Ground ground ground Take a step forward my friend and don't you worry Are you down down down Down down down The world can knock you round Get up in a hurry off the ground ground ground Ground ground ground Take a step forward my friend and don't you worry Cause joy will come In the morning Maybe not tomorrow morning But joy will come Joy will come I'm telling you Joy will come In the morning Maybe not tomorrow morning But joy will come Joy will come So don't let it get you down down down Down down down The world can knock you round Get up in a hurry off the ground ground ground Ground ground ground Take a step forward my friend and don't you worry Are you down down down down down down The world can knock you round Get up in a hurry off the ground ground ground Ground ground ground Take a step forward my brother and don't you worry
