Lyrics Richard Smallwood

Richard Smallwood

Get Down

Lavishly our lives are wasted

Humbleness is left untasted

You can't live your life to please yourself, yeah

That's a tip from my mistake

Exactly what it doesn't take

To win you've got to come in last place

To live your life you've got to lose it

And all the losers get a crown

Chorus

I get down, He lifts me up

I get down, He lifts me up

I get down, He lifts me up

I get down

All I need's another day

Where I can't seem to get away

From the many things that drag me down, yeah

I'm sure you've had a day like me

When nothing seems to set you free

From burdens you can't carry all alone

In you weakness He is stronger

In your darkness He shines through

When you're crying He's your comfort

When you're all alone, He's carrying you

I get down, He lifts me up

I get down, He lifts me up

I get down, He lifts me up

I get down

I get down, He lifts me up

I get down, He lifts me up

I get down, He lifts me up

Everytime I'm down the Lord lifts me up

This valley is so deep

I can barely see the sun

I cry out for mercy, Lord

And You lift me up again
