Get Down
Arthur James Lyrics

Outside there's a bird and it is singing
There is life outside and it's full of energy.

And outside of my window, there's a life
Looking outside, Arthur sees a world that's challenging and full of opportunities.

I feel like someone's talking to my spirit
Arthur feels a sense of connection and purpose in his life.

They tell me that there's reasons to survive
There are important things for Arthur to experience and accomplish in his life.

I could draw you a picture
Arthur is creative and can express himself in many ways.

I could write on my face
Arthur has a unique identity and he wants to share it with the world.

I could read you a scripture of tales
Arthur has knowledge and wisdom to share with others.

And I know, no matter how much colder
Arthur understands that life can be tough and challenging.

Or how much I carry on my shoulders
Arthur has responsibilities and burdens to carry in life.

As long as I'm standing, I'll be closer
Arthur continues to persevere and grow, despite the challenges.

'Cause it ain't over, 'til it's over
Arthur believes that his life will continue to have meaning and purpose.

But we don't get down
Despite the challenges, Arthur and his community are resilient and persevere.

We can turn this 'round
Arthur sees the potential for positive change in his life and in the world.

And maybe, It's today ah yeah
Today could be the day that the positive change begins.

'Cause all these scenes of grief got my head spinnin'
Arthur is overwhelmed by the negative imagery and events in the world.

And we're dancing on the edge of a knife
Arthur feels that the world is in a precarious and unstable state.

And could I be your hero or your villain
Arthur recognizes that he has both the capability to do good and the potential to do harm in the world.

Uh, I guess it just depends in whose eyes
The perspective of others determines whether Arthur is viewed as good or bad.

I could draw you a picture
Arthur has various talents to share with others.

I could write on my fist
Arthur has strong beliefs and is willing to fight for what he believes in.

I could read you a scripture of this
Arthur has a message to share with others.

And I don't get down
Arthur continues to be resilient and persevere, despite the challenges.

'Cause you lift me up
Arthur's community and loved ones provide him with support and encouragement.

No I don't get down
Arthur remains optimistic and hopeful.

And I know, no matter how much colder
Arthur understands that life can be challenging and difficult.

Or how much I carry on my shoulders
Arthur recognizes the responsibilities and burdens he has to carry.

As long as I'm standing, I'll be closer
Arthur continues to persevere and grow.

'Cause it ain't over, 'til it's over
Arthur believes that his life will continue to have meaning and purpose.

But we don't get down
Despite the challenges, Arthur and his community remain resilient and persevere.

We can turn this 'round
Arthur sees the potential for positive change in his life and in the world.

And maybe, It's today ah yeah
Today could be the day that positive change begins.
