Lyrics No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed - Richie Havens
Step
out
in
the
nightWhen
you
get
lonely.
Listen
for
the
soundsCity
ears
don't
hear.
I
know
your
cross
is
gettingHeavier
with
every
step,
But
I
know
a
manWho's
walked
miles
for
you.
Stop!
Stay
the
way
you
are,
Take
a
look
at
yourself,
Take
a
good
look
at
yourself.
Can't
turn
to
Mama'Cause
she'd
only
tell
ya
shetold
ya
so
--That
some
of
us
are
still
learnin'That
the
real
trick
to
lifewe
all
know.
Light
flashed
todayAt
the
dawnin',
Daytime,
NighttimeWe
still
don't
see.
Why
must
we
waitUntil
mornin'To
wake
up
and
beWake
up
and
be.
Now
you
and
I
both
knowThere's
no
such
thing
as
up
and
down,
And
even
when
your
problemsGot
you
goin'
around
and
roundGotta
talk
like
a
man
to
Papa'Cause
he
don't
understandthat
other
stuff.
Since
we're
part
of
the
crosshe's
been
carryin'
--I
think
our
end
has
been
draggin'Long
enough.
All
right,
all
right,
All
right,
all
right,
all
right,
Pick
it
up,
pick
it
up,
Pick
it
up,
pick
it
up!
