| I watched the water rise in our house
|
| the rain poured in and washed out our stuff
|
| my father drank from beer bottles
|
| then he’d say
|
| we’ll walk on, walk on, what’s done, is done
|
| walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
|
| all that we had was deep in the mud
|
| our photographs and family treasures
|
| my mother drank from beer bottles
|
| then she’d say
|
| we’ll walk on, walk on, what’s done, is done
|
| walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
|
| don’t let it bring you down (and let your head drop down)
|
| don’t let the sun go down (and let your light go out)
|
| don’t let yourself fall down
|
| just pick yourself up from the street and get up on your feet
|
| walk on, walk on, what’s done, is done
|
| walk on, my son, never let this world drag you down
|
| never let this world drag you down |
