When you climb to the top of the mountain Look out over the sea Think about the places perhaps, where a young man could be Then you jump back down to the rooftops Look out over the town Think about all of the strange things circulating 'round It ain't easy, it ain't easy It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down Well, all the people got their problems That ain't nothing new But with the help of the good Lord We can all pull on through We can all pull on through Get there in the end Sometimes it'll take you right up and sometimes down again It ain't easy, it ain't easy It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down When you're going down Get down It ain't easy, it ain't easy It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down It ain't easy, it ain't easy It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down When you're going, when you, when you're going It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down When you're going, your mind keeps rolling It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down One more time! It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down When you're going down When you're going down It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down
