Give thanks to Almighty
For all the little things 
Sometimes we give up on the little man, typically.
We have food in our bellies 
Even when the phone don?t ring
Our roof ain?t leaking
And so it?s time for us to sing

(Hey-eh,Hey-eh eh eh eh eh)
And even when it ain?t going on
You gotta still keep being strong
Just believe me
(Hey-eh,Hey-eh eh eh eh eh)
And even when things seemed to change
I know that one thing still remains (Oh?oh)

[Chorus]
You gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break
Step to the right and
Step to the left
Gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break

Step to the right and
Step to the left
Gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break
Step to the right and
Step to the left
Gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break
Step to the right and
Step to the left

Get rid of your worries
Don't try to justify
The one who giveth can taketh at any old time.
Enjoy all your struggles
And appreciate the plight
Cause when darkness turns to light
Everything will be alright (Ya..ya)

(Hey-eh,Hey-eh eh eh eh eh)
And even when it ain?t going on
You gotta still keep being strong (Oh oh oh oh)
(Hey-eh,Hey-eh eh eh eh eh)
And even when things seemed to change
I know that one thing still remains (Oh?ya)

[Chorus]
You gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break
Step to the right and
Step to the left
Gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break
Step to the right and
Step to the left
Gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break
Step to the right and
Step to the left
Gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break
Step to the right and
Step to the left

[Bridge]
Then you'll discover 
Times are changin'
More wonderful
More beautiful
That step after amazing is
You and I
Let them tell you nothing else
Cause the answer?s in yourself

[Chorus]
You gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break
Step to the right and
Step to the left
Gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break
Step to the right and
Step to the left
Gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break
Step to the right and
Step to the left
Gotta sweat to your brow,
You and me break
Step to the right and
Step to the left

I like to move it, move it
You like to move it, move it
I like to move it, move it
You like to MOVE IT!
I like to move it, move it
You like to move it, move it
I like to move it, move it
You like to MOVE IT!
