When I think of all the sorrow
It is hard to take a breath
People fighting one another
And I feel there’s nothing left
When I feel there’s nothing left…

Hey! Cut me loose, now I’m feeling fine, yeah I’m feeling fine!
Shake worldly blues, now I’m feeling fine, yeah! I’m feeling fine!
We’re just like traffic in a big town.
You’d better stop, you’d better slow down!

And the man I know is sleeping
(no he’s gone)
Till those northern spirits send
All the magic of a kind word
(of afar)
You will always be a friend
We take comfort in them…

Hey! Cut me loose, now I’m feeling fine, yeah I’m feeling fine!
Shake worldly blues, now I’m feeling fine, yeah! I’m feeling fine!
And there’s enough to share, to go round
You’d better stop, you’d better slow down!

And you never see your brother
(he’ll cut work)
You’ll make him smile so see him someday
(walk and wait)
If we’re happier tomorrow
(hope we’ll try)
We’ll be living for today
We’ll be living for today
