Van Morrison - You Gotta Make It Through The World Lyrics

Well, let them take you for a clown
And they're bound to bring you down
You got to make it through the world if you can
Think they're doing you wrong, but you got here on your own

You got to make it through the world if you can, I said if you can
If you can, you got to make it through the world if you can
I said if you can, if you can
(Ooh, lord)
You got to make it through the world if you can

Well, you know what it's all about
Nobody know you when you're down and out
You got to make it through the world if you can
Well, talk about wrong and right

You've got to make up your own mind
You got to make it through the world if you can

I said if you can, ooh, if you can
(If you can, if you can)
You got to make it through the world if you can
(If you can)
I said if you can, well, if you can
(If you can, if you can)
You got to make it through the world if you can
(If you can)

Yeah, let them take you for a clown
It will surely put you down
You got to make it through the world if you can
(If you can)
Everybody talk about wrong and right

You got to make up your own mind about it
You got to make it through the world if you can
(If you can)

Ooh, if you can, yeah, if you can
(If you can, if you can)
You got to make it through the world if you can
(If you can)
Yeah, if you can if you can
(If you can, if you can)
You got to make it through the world if you can
(If you can)

Yeah, I said if you can, Lord, if you can
(If you can, if you can)
You got to make it through the world if you can
(If you can)

I said you got to make through the world if you can
(If you can)
I said you got to make through the world if you can
(If you can)
I said you got to make through the world if you can
(If you can)
You got to make it through the world if you can
(If you can)

Make it through the world
Make it through the world
(If you can)
Make it through the world
Make it through the world
(If you can)

Make it through the world
Make it through the world
(If you can)
