[Verse 1]
I watched the water rise in our house
The rain poured in and washed out our stuff
My father drank from beer bottles
Then he'd say

[Chorus]
We'll walk on, walk on
What's done is done
Walk on, my son
Never let this world drag you down

[Verse 2]
All that we had was deep in the mud
Our photographs and family treasures
My mother drank from beer bottles
Then she'd say

[Chorus]
We'll walk on, walk on
What's done is done
Walk on, my son
Never let this world drag you down

[Bridge]
Don't let it bring you down (and let your head drop down)
Don't let the sun go down (and let your light go out)
Don't let yourself fall down
Just pick yourself up from the street and get up on your feet
[Chorus]
Walk on, walk on
What's done is done
Walk on, my son
Never let this world drag you down
Never let this world drag you down
