When I met a medicine man, he said, "Don´t just lie in bed
Every cure for what you need is in your head!"
He said, "You don´t need a compass or a map to find your way
Just don´t give up and give it all you got, each and every day!"

You got to pick yourself up, ´cause life goes on
No matter where you end up, life goes on
You´ve just got to get up, ´cause life goes on
And don´t you ever give up, ´cause life goes on....

Well it ain´t some kind of secret or some special master plan
Just be yourself and do the best you can
And here´s a little lesson to get you on your way
Just don´t give up, give it all you got, each and every day

You got to pick yourself up, ´cause life goes on
No matter where you end up, life goes on
You´ve just got to get up, ´cause life goes on
And don´t you ever give up, ´cause life goes on....

You got to pick yourself up, ´cause life goes on
No matter where you end up, life goes on
You´ve just got to get up, ´cause life goes on
And don´t you ever give up, ´cause life goes on....

You got to pick yourself up, ´cause life goes on
No matter where you end up, life goes on
You´ve just got to get up, ´cause life goes on
And don´t you ever give up, ´cause life goes on....
