You'll never walk on the ceiling if you've never been flat on the floor
And you can't soak up the sun if you've never been stuck in the storm
You can't find somebody if you never let somebody else go
If you ain't hit a wall, you'll never find a window

You can never go up (oh, oh)
If you never been down, down, down
If you've never been lost (oh, oh)
You won't ever get found, found, found
I remember what my mama told me
Ain't nobody in love who ain't never been lonely
You can never go up (oh, oh)
If you never been down, down, down
(La)
(Woo)

You can't hear the angels singing if you never played the devil a song (whoa)
And you don't know what it's like to come back if you never been gone
Yeah, you can't appreciate money if you ain't been so broke it ain't funny
We're all kids on a playground, sittin' on a seesaw
Hey, y'all

You can never go up (oh, oh)
If you never been down, down, down
If you've never been lost (oh, oh)
You won't ever get found, found, found
I remember what my mama told me
Ain't nobody in love who ain't never been lonely
You can never go up (oh, oh)
If you never been down, down, down
(La)
(Woo)

Uh, you know what I'm saying? (Na, na-na-na-na)
Everything's gonna be alright
(Na, na-na-na-na)
Everything's gonna be alright, yeah
(Na, na-na-na-na)
Everything gonna be alright, I said
Everything's gonna, everything's gonna be alright

So put your hands up (oh, yeah)
If you ever been down, down, down
If you've never been lost (lost, oh, yeah)
You won't ever get found, found, found
I remember what my mama told me
(I remember what she told me)
Ain't nobody in love who ain't never been lonely
You can never go up (oh, oh)
If you never been down, down, down

Everything gonna, everything gonna be alright
Said, yeah (ooh)
Everything's gonna, everything's gonna be alright
