Rolling Down a Mountainside Songtext
von Isaac Hayes

Winners and losers, everyone must play fair
All you beginners know that you′ve got to start somewhere
Whether you're saints or sinners, smile and share
Sunlight as well as shadows while you learn that everyone cares
Everyone out there has a cross to bear
And will never dare to live alone

′Cause we're not stones
Rolling down a mountainside
We all count, yes we do
And we've got strength and we′ve got pride
Good Lord, God is on our side
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Losers and winners, you′ve got to fight when you know you're right
You may get some bruises but somewhere some fool may see the light
So when your tongue confuses, keep it bright
Just smile, smile and you′ll make them listen to you
While you teach the truth that we'll be alright, yeah
Birds will stay in flight, don′t worry
They will fall at night, yes they will
Just keep the truth inside but not alone

'Cause we′re not stones
That's rolling down a mountainside
Oh, we all count
'Cause we′ve got strength and we′ve got pride
God is on our side
Yes, He is

Givers and takers, no matter which you are
All of the hearts broken knows that every hurt's got to leave a scar
Now we can just thank our Maker, thank you, Lord, Lord, here we are
Oh, pitching in and helping one another
Making life work, ain′t it beautiful?
We're going far, there′s no way we can mar
Our lucky star, oh yeah, if we all try hard but never alone

'Cause we′re not stones

That's just rolling down a mountainside
We all count, oh Lord
We've got strength and we′ve got pride
Good God, God is on our side


Oh yes, He is, I know He is, He′s on our side
We've got pride, don′t worry about a thing, no, no, no, no
He's on our side
We got to work together, we got to live together
We got to love together
′Cause God is on our side
Yeah, yeah
Just thank you, Lord
Thank you, Lord, woo, thank you, Jesus
