Lyrics for Song: Get Down
Lyrics for Album: American Album / Cajun Moon [2000]
He was young and he was proud
He was strong and unafraid
And he walked alone where others feared to tread
And all the treasures of the land
He could hold them in his hand
And where others always followed he would lead
But when the others came to lead
They were driven on by greed
And they forced him to believe his way was wrong
In his simple way he tried
But his spirit slowly died
And he knew his weary journey had begun
And he had to get down, get down on the ground
He had to get down and leave his pride behind
And he had to come to terms
With the things he had to learn
And his innocence destroyed itself with age
Now when he stopped to turn around
The path was nowhere to be found
And he was guided like a puppet on a stage
And the proud and noble savage
Took his turn at being scared
Whereas before he never knew the taste of fear
He had to grovel in the sand
And hold an open hand
For he knew within the end was drawing near
And he had to get down, get down on the ground
He had to get down and leave his pride behind
And he cried aloud with pain
For to walk in the light again
And he begs for someone close to lend an ear
And he's turned the other cheek
But now he's much too weak
And no one stops to listen though they hear
And now an age has passed away
And we are left to pay
For the wrongs inflicted on this man
And if the burden weighs us down
We'll have to kneel upon the ground
And pray for forgiveness from this man
Cos he had to get down, get down on the ground
He had to get down and leave his pride behind
We'd better get down, get down on the ground
We'd better get down and leave our pride behind
