An d if you go
to the east without me,
don't you worry about a thing.
I got a voice inside of me
that I listen to when it sings, it sings.
It's just the way of the world
It's just the way of the world
Hold on, mama, hold on tight
Because it's gonna be a long, hard climb
And if you find that your
friends betrayed you
Don't you worry about a thing
Everybody has been
through that one
Everybody has the best
game in the world
It's just the way of the world
It's just the way of the world
Hold on mama, hold on tight
Because it's gonna be
a long hard climb
When the devil hands out invitations
Don't get nervous if he calls
your name
Everybody's gonna feel the same
at the end of the celebration
When all the angels have
lost their wings
Keep a smile up in your heart, mama
Let the bells of the nighttime ring,
you know
It's just the way of the world
It's just the way of the world
Hold on, mama, hold on tight
Because it's gonna be a long,
hard climb
Yeah, hold on, mama, hold on tight
Because it's gonna be a long, climb
Yeah, hold on, hold on, hold on tight
Because it's gonna be a long, long time
