A Little Somethin' (To Hang On To)

(アルバム： The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A. - 1972)

Everybody needs a philosophy for a living
To make growing up a little easier to do
'Cause when you have to live with yourself takes a lifetime
So here goes a little something to hang on to

Get to know who you are and what you're doing here
Find out exactly where you're going and where you've been
And change the things you can and accept the things you can't
And don't you ever forget you, your best friend

And you gotta do more than put a little love in your heart
You gotta let loose and give it all away
And no matter who you are you need to exercise your soul
And take a little walk with Jesus everyday

And say thank you for the life you've been given
And don't you ever forget that golden rule
'Cause the least you can do for your conscience
Is give it a little something to hang on to

And when you're down you can't give up if you're losing
'Cause you may need to get lost to be found
And when you get starting up, well you'll always see the stars
So don't live it up if you can't live it down
And you're gonna get back from life what you've given
So give it all you got and before you know

It'll get easier and easier to live with yourself
If you take Jesus with you everywhere you go
And say thank you for the life you've been given
And don't you ever forget that golden rule
'Cause the least you can do for your conscience
Is give it a little something to hang on to

Ah, you gotta give it a little something to hang on to
