00:00When I get up, she swears that she don't hear it
00:16Says that I'm as quiet as a mouse
00:24I comb my hair and throw some water on my face
00:33Back out of the stillness of our house
00:41Lately my patience is in short supply
00:50Nothing good seems to ever come
00:54From all this work, no matter how hard I try
01:01You know I believe in the sun, I ain't no backslider
01:14My people were told they'd prosper in this land
01:20Still I know some who've never seen the ocean
01:30Set one foot on a velvet bed of sand
01:36But they've got their treasure
01:41Laying way up high
01:47Where there might be many mansions
01:51But when I look up
01:54All I see is sky
02:02Maybe it's the getting by that gets right underneath you
02:10It'd swallow up your every step, boy if it could
02:18Maybe it's the stuff it takes to get up in the morning
02:25And put another day in the sun
02:27And put another day in the sun
02:31That'll hold you till the getting's filling
02:35Green ribbon front doors
02:42Dishwater days
02:44Dishwater days
02:45Dishwater days
02:47This whole town is tied to the torso
02:50Of God's mysterious ways
02:59Maybe it's the getting by
03:00It gets right underneath you
03:01It gets right underneath you
03:05It'd swallow up your every step, boy if it could
03:12But maybe it's the stuff it takes to get up in the morning
03:21And put another day in the sun
03:23And put another day in the sun
03:27That keeps you standing where you should
03:31So put another day in the sun
03:35And hold on till the getting's good
03:39And hold on till the getting's good
03:56Alright
03:58Thank you
