I've done every single little thing I've climbed my way up to the top 'Less I can grow myself some wings I'm gonna have to drop
Down, down, down Down, down, down
Down, down, down Down to the bottom again Down, down, down Down to the bottom again Maybe go round, round, round In a circle or two Before I find my way Back up to you
Oh, I've prayed and obeyed And these burdens I've laid On top my tired toes I've taken the weight As I've waited through The good and bad just to get here To the top, top, tippy-top I've nowhere else to go Nowhere else to go
Unless it's down, down, down Down to the bottom again Down, down, down Down to the bottom again Maybe go round, round, round In a circle or two Before I find my way Back up to you
Time, time, you've given me time I've taken it square and fair I've spent it well To my very last dime Now I'm here exposed and bare I suppose you could build an escalator Carrying yourself through the blue This path I've walked It couldn't be straighter So settle the score You gotta see me
Down, down, down Down to the bottom again Down, down, down Down to the bottom again Maybe go round, round, round In a circle or two Before I find my way Back up to you
