Can you feel a wind blowing Got me talking to myself One more day, one more truth, got to find out where Feel the blow of the river taking me there Good Lord only get you so far, then you got to help yourself I don’t need no reason, reason to hang my head 'Cause I gotta get over (Get on over to the good side) Lord I gotta get over (Get over, you get a lil’ closer) I gotta get over (Getting closer to the good side) Gotta get over (Getting over, over) I’ve been breaking like the waves upon the sand You know I need some fortitude, gonna keep it close at hand And I gotta shake it if I’m gonna break it on down the line Ain’t nobody can help me if I stay helpless all the time I gotta get over (Get on over to the good side) Gotta get over (Help me get a little closer) I gotta get over (Getting closer to the good side) Lord I gotta get over (Getting over, over)
