lyrics

You don't have to lie to be happy
You don't have to whine like a dog
You don't have to go to those parties
And sit and bitch about your boss
You don't have to spend your time worrying
About the things you have lost
You don't have to run about thinking about
What everything in your life will cost

You just get back to the well
Every now and then
When your spirit is dry
And your mind is growing dim
And you begin to think
It's time your time has come
Get back to the well
From where your spirit has come

You don't have to run with the Joneses
Whoever the Joneses may be
Some high-town highbrow slicker
Or that high-roller just down your street
You don't have to be black to love the blues
Or white to wear your white shoes
You don't have to win at anybody's game
To have yourself something to lose

Get back to the well
Every now and then
When your spirit is dry
And your mind is growing dim
And you begin to think
It's time your time has come
Get back to the well
From where your spirit has come
