alone down roads of broken wreckage I have come
with no map to the light I have run
every time I stumble there's a hand
to give me strength to stand
You may be down
but you're never out
you may be down
but you can always start again

I've done hard time in hospitals and jails
I rode the highways and I rode the rails
by the longest journey down the darkest roads
I found a home
You may be down
but you're never out
you may be down
but you can always start again

there's no telling what can happen
if you stay in the fight
when your eyes are open
or with your hands clenched tight
there's always a friend
there's always a new day
sometimes you just keep walking
though you can't see the way
You may be down
but you're never out
you may be down
but you can always start again
