Cooper's Lament |
Hey brothers, hear me call |
It ain’t that I had to fall |
Wasn’t no one’s fault last night |
When I looked up and felt the light |
Here’s hoping you’ll understand |
I want to fell like a natural man |
Get up early in the morning to do what I can |
You can’t help no one with money |
If you can’t with your hands |
And you got to be there brothers, yes you do |
If the world is turning under you |
Ain’t no good to sit around |
And bring it up or down |
You got to be there brothers, yes you do |
Hey brothers, now and then |
There’s something that oughta move you |
More than a pen |
You don’t need no school or knowledge |
You’ve got something else to lend |
And all the people in the world |
Can make it better again |
And it ain’t easy, yes I know |
It’s a hard and rugged road |
Don’t be swindled, don’t be fooled |
Just be honest and stay cool |
'Cause you got to be there brothers, yes you do |
If the world is turning under you |
Ain’t no good to sit around |
And bring it up or down |
You got to be there brothers, yes you do |
