Mavis Staples - We Get By Lyrics






We get by on love and faith
We get by with a smile on our face
We get by with help from our kin
We get by through thick and through thin

We get by, we get by
No matter what happens, I'll be there for you
We get by

Was just the other day, I heard from my old friend
She was going through changes once again
Matters of the head, matters of the heart
Maybe too early to tell, but it's never to late to start

We get by, we get by
No matter how long, I'll be waiting here for you
We get by
We get by, we get by
No matter how long, I'll be waiting
We get by

Day by day, line by line
If you don't have yours
You sure got mine
We get by
We get by day by day
We get by
And I always

We get by, we get by
No matter how it happens, I'll be there for you
We get by
We get by, we get by
No matter how long, I'll be waiting here for you
We get by

No matter how long, I'll come running
We get by
I'll be waiting
Oh
No matter what happens, I'll be there for you
What happens, I'll be there for you
Oh
Oh, oh yeah

    Gotta change around here
    Can't go on this way

    Things gotta change round here
    Fingers on the trigger
    Bullets flying
    Mothers crying
    Get it straight
    Be sure that you hear
    Things gonna change around here
    What good is freedom
    If we haven't learned
    To be free
    Day after day
    Year after year
    We gotta change round here

    Blue is the colour
    One is the number
    Now is the time
