lyrics

I was so down
Just hanging around
Wondering what to do
When suddenly I was surprised from out of the blue

The birds sang their song while I walked along
I suddenly felt quite odd
‘Cause out of the sky fell a note from Mr God

And it said
You got the blues but you can shake it
If you have faith you can make it
You have a chance
You must take it while you can

Don't give up hope
Never lose it
You got a choice but you must a-choose it
And that's what it said on this note from Mr God

Well, this man was walking down the street and he saw a piece of paper on the ground and he picked it up and he read it and he thought it was a note a-from God. And it wasn't, but he thought it was. And he had had a little bit too much to drink, for about twenty years. And this piece of paper had fallen out of someones bible on their way to church and he just uh found it laying there, and picked it up and he read it and he understood it. And then you know how sometimes you, you read something you think hey this is me, this is exactly what I'm like. Well he thought that, he thought who could possibly know what I'm like except maybe for, for God. And he thought that this was a note from God. And he decided to tell his friends about it because that's what happens when you understand something and you believe it, you wanna share it. And that's what he did, he says eh [Spoken]

You got the blues but you can shake it brothers
That's right, if you have faith you know you gonna make it
Uh-ha
You got a chance
That's right but you got to take it, take it while you can

Don't give up hope
Never lose it
You got a choice but you must choose it
Well that's what it said on this note from Mr God

So if you feel down
With your chin on the ground brother, you know
And eh suddenly you feel eh odd
Well then just look all around, look down on the ground, you might see some kinda piece of paper floating by, just might be some kinda note from Mr [coughs] God
