Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
[Verse 2]
You don't have to sit around
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
Think of all the time you waste
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
And time's a precious thing to let go by
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
[Verse 3]
Sure you've hit the bottom
But remember,  you'll be building from the ground up
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
Every day's another step
That takes you even closer to the sky, so give a try
[Verse 4]
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
[Verse 5]
You don't have to sit around
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
Depressed about the way that love deceived you
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
Fortune sailed away, you missed the boat
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
And found that you'd been left behind
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
[Verse 6]
Fight and fight some more
Until you know the world is ready to go receive you
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
Lady luck is fickle
But a lady is allowed to change her mind
[Verse 7]
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
So be a man you know you can't be certain
That you'll lose until you try
[Verse 8]
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out)
So be a man you know you can't be certain
That you'll lose until you try, so give it a try
[Verse 9]
We as one shout
Up, up, up and out
We as one shout
Up, up, up and out
We as one shout
Up, up, up and out
We as one shout
Up, up, up and out
We as one shout
Up, up, up and out
We as one shout
Up, up, up and out
We as one shout
Up, up, up and out
