A long long time ago   I had such a weary soul   And the pleasures of this world I do not know   Then came my bitter days   When tribulations play   Those little games that made me lose my way      And my brothers come from the river   Cause our mothers went for the ride   If you get up get up and deliver   Give it up one more time      Whoa----- Whoa----      Against the grain I flow   Against all odds I know   Fortune favors those who wish but never go   Out of this darkened hole   While traveling alone   My heart grows closer to the stories still untold   For there are so many roads   And all are lined with gold   But nothing else I've found   Can satisfy my soul      And my brothers come from the river   Cause our mothers went for the ride   If you get up get up and deliver   Give it up one more time      Whoa----- Whoa----      [Solo]      And my brothers come from the river   Cause our mothers went for the ride   If you get up get up and deliver   Give it up one more time
