The Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every man think his burden is the heaviest
But, ooh, yeah, come on, they know because they feel

[Chorus]
Who feels it, knows it Lord (Who feels it, knows it Lord)
Who feels it, knows it Lord (Who feels it, knows it Lord)
Who feels it, knows it Lord (Who feels it, knows it Lord)

[Verse 2]
Don’t sit by your window, gazing at the streets
Get up and move, get right on your feet
Just get up and move brothers (Brothers)
Get right in the groove sisters (Sisters)
Just get up and move Brothers (Brothers)
Get right in the groove sisters (Sisters)

[Verse 3]
You linger, you linger
Die, must die (Die must die)
So, don’t point your fingers and
You’ll get by (You’ll get by)
No, no, no, don’t lie
No, don’t lie (Don’t lie)
Don’t cry
