Audio Adrenaline Album: Live from Hawaii: The Farewell Concert Track: Get Down
Get Down Lyrics
Lavishly our lives are wasted Humbleness is left untasted You can't live your life to please yourself, yeah That's a tip from my mistakes Exactly what it doesn't take To win you've got to come in last place To live your life you've got to lose it And all the losers get a crown
CHORUS I get down and He lifts me up I get down and He lifts me up I get down and He lifts me up I get down Every time I'm down the Lord lifts me up
All I need's another day Where I can't seem to get away From the many things that drag me down, yeah I'm sure you've had a day like me Where nothing seems to set you free From the burdens you can't carry all alone In your weakness He is stronger In Your darkness He shines through When you're crying He's your comfort When all alone, He's carrying you
CHORUS
This valley is so deep I can barely see the sun I cry out for mercy, Lord You lift me up again
Song Description: "We wrote this in a van on our way to a camp, kind of a retreat and intense writing weekend at Hume Lake in California. We were just being all silly in the van and me, Mark and our friend Mike were talking about the Beastie Boys and came up with this stupid rap. Then we're like 'That's kind of catchy.' So we lost all that stupid kind of Beastie Boys stuff and kept the Chorus and kept singing it and that song came out pretty quick. We actually wrote 'Mighty Good Leader' and 'Get Down' up at the Hume Lake, which are songs we still play to this day." - Will McGinniss (Audio Adrenaline)
