[Verse 1: Curtis Mayfield]
Now it's always the right time
With something positive in your mind
There's always someone to pull you down
You just get back up and hold your ground
[Pre-Chorus: Curtis Mayfield]
If there's ever something bad you don't wanna see
Just keep on walking and let it be
I don't wanna hear 'bout all that's bad, no no
'Cause all that's bad just makes me sad, mhm
So every little once in a while
Show some love and make me smile
Cry sometimes with tears of joy, oh yeah
Sure would help now won't it, boy? Say yeah
[Chorus: Curtis Mayfield]
Summer, winter, or just cold
Through the rain and through the snow
Let's get on back to living again, right on
Just get on back to living again
Get on back, get on back
[Verse 2: Curtis Mayfield]
Wherever life takes me I don't know, hey
Just give me a truth and let me grow, ooh
I have these feelings in myself, hey
I'm sure there must be someone else
[Pre-Chorus: Curtis Mayfield]
Shootin' guns in prison life
Is that what you want? Well, Jesus Christ
It's best for you to get back on track
There ain't no need in lookin' back, don't look back
So you're tryin' hard, well try again
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
Just remember by and by, just remember (Remember)
It's best to keep a natural high
[Chorus: Curtis Mayfield]
So summer, winter, or just cold
Through the rain and through the snow, yeah
Let's get on back to living again, right on
Just get on back to living again
Get on back, get on back
[Bridge: Curtis Mayfield]
If you're feeling inferior, hey
Make yourself superior
If you practice, baby, all the time
No one can think what's on your mind
Fussin' and fightin' all the time
Do you really want some peace of mind? Yeah
Remember back as a little kid?
There was so much fun in what we did
[Chorus: Curtis Mayfield & (Aretha Franklin)]
Summer, winter, or just cold, here we go
Through the rain and through the snow
(Through the rain and through the snow)
Let's get on back to living again, right on
(Let's get on back to living again)
Just get on back to livin' again
(Oh yeah)
Get on back, get on back
(Get on back, get on back)
Summer, winter, or just cold
(Summer, winter)
Through the rain and through the snow
(Through the rain and through the snow)
Let's get on back to living again, right on
(Yeah, yeah)
Just get on back to living again
(To living again)
Get on back, get on back
(Get on back, get on back)
[Outro: Curtis Mayfield & (Aretha Franklin)]
Let's get on back to living again, right on
(Right on)
Just get on back to living again
(Go 'head, right on)
Get on back, get on back
(Get on back, get on back)
Let's get on back to living again, right on
(Right on)
Just get on back to living again
(Get on back, living again)
Get on back, get on back
(Living again, to living again, go 'head)
Let's get on back to living again, right on
(Living again - go 'head, Mayfield)
