When you climb to the top of the mountain
Look out over the sea
Think about the places perhaps, where a young man could be
Then you jump back down to the rooftops
Look out over the town
Think about all of the strange things circulating 'round

It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down

Well, all the people got their problems
That ain't nothing new
But with the help of the good lord
We can all pull on through
We can all pull on through
Get there in the end
Sometimes it'll take you right up and sometimes down again

It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down

When you're going down
Get down

It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down
It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down

It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down
When you're going, when you, when you're going
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down
When you're going, your mind keeps rolling
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down
One more time!
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down

When you're going down
When you're going down
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down
