Outside there's a bird and it is singing And outside of my window, there's a life I feel like someone's talking to my spirit They tell me that there's reasons to survive
I could draw you a picture I could write on my face I could read you a scripture of tales
And I know no matter how much colder Or how much I carry on my shoulders As long as I'm standing, I'll be closer 'Cause it ain't over, 'til it's over
But we don't get down, oh No, we don't get down, oh No, we can turn this 'round And maybe It's today, ah yeah
'Cause all these scenes of grief got my head spinnin' And we're dancing on the edge of a knife And could I be your hero or your villain Uh, I guess it just depends in whose eyes
I could draw you a picture I could write on my fist I could read you a scripture of this
And I know no matter how much colder Or how much I carry on my shoulders As long as I'm standing, I'll be closer 'Cause it ain't over, 'til it's over
But we don't get down, oh No, we don't get down, oh No, we can turn this 'round And maybe It's today, ah yeah
I don't get down 'Cause you lift me up (you lift me up) No I don't get down (I don't get down) 'Cause you lift me up (oh 'cause you lift me up) No I don't get down 'Cause you lift me up No I don't get down 'Cause you lift me up No I don't get down 'Cause you lift me up No I don't get down 'Cause you lift me up I don't get down 'Cause you lift me up No I don't get down 'Cause you lift me up
And I know no matter (I know no matter) How much colder (how much colder) Or how much I carry on my shoulders (How much I carry on my shoulders) As long as I'm standing, I'll be closer (I'll be closer) 'Cause it ain't over (it ain't over) 'Til it's over ('til it's over)
'Cause we don't get down, oh No, we don't get down, oh No, we can turn this 'round And maybe It's today, ah yeah
