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 have got their problems

That ain't nothing new

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

Satisfaction, satisfaction

Keep me satisfied

I've got the love of a Hoochie Koochie woman

She calling from inside

She's a-calling from inside

Trying to get to you

All the woman really wants you can give her something too

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
