there's no need
to feel down
I said young man
pick yourself
off the ground

in a new town
there's no need
to be unhappy

to me
I said young man
what do you
want to be
I said young man
you can make
real your dreams
but you got to know
this one thing
no man does it
all by himself
I said young man

on the shelf
and just go there
to the ymca
