Though some things in life are hard to bear, don't let it bring you down.
   Should the sand of time run out on you, don't let it bring you down.
  
   Don't go down, don't go underground. Things seem strange, but they change, how they change.
  
   Up and down your carousel will go, so don't let it bring you down.

   When the price you have to pay is high, don't let it bring you down.
   Oo, don't let it bring you down.
