Moving up the ladder, working nine to five
Holding on for better days
Staying out of trouble, trying to find my way
For a little while, a thought I had it made.

It was just around the corner, and it knocked me to my knees
Time to dust them of, time to take the lead
Don´t be looking for someone to blame
You can count on things to stay the same
They always are going to change

I'm gonna stop being down, so down

And I´ve been down, I´ve been down
But I'm getting on the ground right now
I´ve been down, I´ve been down
Honey, I´ve been down, I´ve been down
But I'm getting on the ground right now
Cause I´ve been down, I´ve been down.

Doesn´t really matter, what you getting thrown
They'll get at you even if you run
So quit trying to fight it, and take it in your arms
Things will click when you open up your heart, your heart.

And I´ve been down, I´ve been down
But I'm getting on the ground right now
I´ve been down, I´ve been down
I´ve been down, I´ve been down
But I'm getting on the ground right now
I´ve been down, I´ve been down.
Honey, I´ve been up and down.

You got to open up your heart maybe…
