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 No we don't get down 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 No we don't get down We can turn this 'round And maybe It's today ah yeah And 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 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 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 No we don't get down We can turn this 'round And maybe It's today ah yeah
