I went down to the valley, just to find out who I am, Lord
Down home in the valley, I've got to get myself back together again, now
I looked all around me, but everything was still the same
People, you can't climb that mountain carrying a ball and chain, no

Chorus
Because it takes all the love that your give to get to the other side
It makes all the life that you can live so satisfied, yeah, so satisfied

Come, come, comin' together, that's the only way we can go
Children, you better turn around, take a look where you been before, now
Come, come come on people, don't you know that we're all the same;
You know we ain't gonna climb that mountain carrying a ball and chain
Repeat chorus
