[Verse 1]
Step out in the night when you get lonely
Listen for the sounds city ears don't hear
I know your cross is gettin' heavier with every step, every step
But I know a man who'd walk miles for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop, stay where you are
Take a look at yourself
Take a good look at yourself

[Chorus]
Can't tell your momma
'Cause she'd only tell ya she told you so
That some of us are still learnin'
That the real trick to life we all know

[Verse 2]
Life flashed to day at the dawnin'
Daytime, nighttime, we still don't see
Why must we wait until mornin'
To wake up and be, wake up and be
Wake up and be, wake up and be
Wake up and be?

[Verse 3]
Now you and I both know there's no such thing as up and down
And even when your problems got you goin' 'round and 'round
Gotta talk like a man to poppa 'cause he don't understand that other stuff
Since we're part of the cross he's carryin'
Our end has been draggin' long enough
[Outro]
Yeah
Mmm, yeah
Alright, alright, alright
Alright now
Pick it up, pick it up
Alright now
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
Mmm, yeah
Pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Pick it up, pick it up
