I've been thinkin' 'bout the places I've been and the people I've known
Grateful for the hospitality and the kindness I've been shown
Warm thoughts can melt the memories that cause the pain
And love can help me get on up and face the world again

When problems start to pile on you and you're feeling low
don't think there's nothing you can do and nowhere you can go
Just open up your heart and let your spirit get you out of the rain
'Cause love can help you get on up and face the world again

You can find it in a small act of kindness or behind a strangers smile
But it's love that puts the quality in your life

INSTRUMENTAL

The finest thing a friend can do is help another succeed
Just make sure that you're led by truth and not deceived by greed
So put your best foot forward and start walking in the light today
Then let your love get on up and face the world again

So if you're feeling like the folks you know might have been led astray
Just grab yourself some solitude open your heart and pray
Ask the Lord to pick them up mm-hmm and show them the way
And let your love get on up and face the world again

You've got to let your love get on up and face the world again
