Every man thinks his burdens the heaviest

    But it common they know because they feel

    And who feels it know it

    Who feels it knows it



    No dont sit by your window

    Gazing at the streets

    Sorrying for your self cause you've got nothing to cat

    There's a light within you, so let it shine

    Git up and move and start trying trying trying.



    Just git up and move

    Get right in the groove (rep.)



    For linger you linger, cry you must cry

    Now dont point your fingers and you'll get bye

    Dont be no moonshine-darling and sit down and cry.

    Please dont you give up now before you give it a try



    Before you give it a try

    Before you give it a try, try, try

    And dont you give up now dont give

    up now dont give up now. Dont you

    Give up now before you give it a try

    before you give it a try, try, try.



    Papa no want, no want no want,

    No want, no more bondage

    For its a long time he's been in slavery.

    Mama no want, no want no want,

    No more pain, pain and worry

    For its a long time now she's been unhappy



    And Who feels it knows it

    Who feels it knows it

    Every night and every day

    Who feels it knows it

    By their blood and sweat they pay

    Who feels it knows it yea



    But linger you linger cry you must cry

    No dont point you fingers and you'll get bye

    Dont be no moon-shine darling and sit down and cry

    And please dont you give up now before you give it a try

    Before you give it a try come on

    Give it a try, try, try.

    Before you give it a try come on

    Give it a try, try, try,

    And dont you give up now don't you

    Give up now don't give up now

    Before you give it a try, before you

    Give it a try, try, try (rep.).
