(1968)
So you say your world is falling down
Around your ears
Everything you’ve planned has gone astray
Through all the years
Lift your head, my friend
Try to see beyond the pain
Don’t give up, just change direction
Turn around and start again
’t Was a time when I was down
With not a penny to my name
And like you I was in mind
To throw away my chance of fame
Dry your tears as I did then
Disregard the falling rain
Don’t give up, just change direction
Turn around and start again
Yes, for the world is full of people
With their hope and future gone
They were faced with your decision
To give up or to go on
So spend an hour in meditation
See the good things, not the bad
And you’ll find that life has given you
Good reason to be glad
While the spark remains
You must try and try again
Don’t give up, just change direction
Turn around and start again
Yes, for the world is full of people
With their hope and future gone
They were faced with your decision
To give up or to go on
While the spark remains
You must try and try again
Don’t give up, just change direction
Turn around and start again
