Every man thinks his burden is the heaviest
But (ooh, yea, come on) they know because they feel
Who feels it knows it, Lord
Who feels it knows it, Lord
Who feels it knows it, Lord

Don't sit by your window gazing at the streets
Just get up and move, get right on your feet
Just get up and move (brothers)
Get right in the groove (sisters)
Just get up and move (brothers)
Get right in the groove (sisters)

For linger you linger, die you must die
So don't point your fingers and you'll get by
No, no, no, don't lie, don't lie, don't cry

Every man thinks his burden is the heaviest
But (ooh, yea, come on) they know because they feel
Who feels it knows it, Lord
Who feels it knows it, Lord
Who feels it knows it, Lord

I said I feel it, and I know it
I said I feel it, and I know it
Said I feel it, and I know it
I said I feel it, yes, and you know it
If you feel it, then you know it
If you feel it, then you know it
