Lots of good people I see around town
They’re down when they’re up - they’re down when they’re down
They’re cold when they’re cold – they’re cold when they’re hot
They’re never content to have what they’ve got
Abou ben Adhem may your tribe increase
You woke one night from a deep dream of peace
An angel was writing - so I’ve been told
Here’s what he wrote in a book of pure gold
{You’ve got to….}
Chorus:
Go to go with what you’ve got go with what you’ve got
Go with what you’ve got ‘til you get there
Though what you’ve got may not seem a lot
Go with what you’ve got and you’ll get there
Life is no tea-dance no walk in the park
Most of its just chance - a leap in the dark
Breathing in mud in the Slough of Despond
Don’t think of what’s happened – think how you respond
Think of those women and think of those men
Who gave what they had and didn’t complain
Just do what you can and can what you can’t
Be what you are and don’t crave what you aren’t
{You’ve got to….}
Chorus:
Feel what you say and then say what you feel
Truth’s always strong and all truth’s always real
Don’t hang your head and don’t give up the fight
The cup is half full when you live it right
There’s no easy answer - no easy cure
There’s no guarantees and nothing secure
Just scoop up the soup from life’s boiling pot
Drink it all down - and go - with what you’ve got
{You’ve got to….}
Chorus:
