Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pick yourself up, take a deep breath
Dust yourself off, and start all over again
[Verse 2]
Nothing's impossible, I have found
For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again
[Verse 3]
Don't lose your confidence
If you slip, be grateful for a pleasant trip
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again
[Verse 4]
Work like a soul inspired till the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired, but you'll be a man, my son
[Verse 5]
A-will you remember the famous men who had to fall to rise again
So, take a deep breath, a-pick yourself up, a-dust yourself off
And start all over again
[Verse 6]
Work like a soul inspired till the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired, but you'll be a man, my son
[Verse 7]
Will you remember the famous men who had to fall to rise again
So, take a deep breath, a-pick yourself up, a-dust yourself off
And start all over again
