I was so down
Just hanging around
Wondering what to do
When suddenly I was surprised from out of the blue

The birds sang their song as I walked along
I suddenly felt quite odd
'Cos out of the sky fell a note from Mr God

And it said
You got the blues but you can shake it
If you have faith you can make it
You have a chance
You must take it while you can

Don't give up hope
Never lose it
You got a choice but you must choose it
And that's what it said on this note from Mr God

Ah ba la la etc

Yeah this is a song about this man
who's walking down the street
and he's had a little bit too much to drink
for about twenty years
And he sees this piece of paper on the ground
and he picks it up and it's just a
it's just a piece of paper
somebody dropped out of their bible
It's kind of a tract you know
one of those things that somebody writes down
their, their ideas about how to explain God
to somebody else they want to give
this piece of paper to and this person
just drops it on the ground
and this guy picks it up and he starts reading
and thinks this is about me
How could anybody know about me?
Except for God
And that's why he thought this was
a note from God. And it wasn't
But he thought it was. But it wasn't
But he thought it was
and that's what's important

You know what happens
when you start getting involved with God
Your life starts changing
and you start getting kinda happy and you know
kinda messes up your viewpoint of life
you kinda change your perspective and
and the first thing you know
you're so glad that things have changed
in your life you wanna go tell
all your friends about it
and that's what this guy did
He wanted to go back
and tell all of his friends
that he found this note from God
and it said [Spoken]

You got the blues but you can shake it
If you have faith you can make it
You have a chance
So you must take it while you can

Don't give up hope
Never lose it
You have a choice but you know
you got to choose it
And that's what it said on this note from Mr God

So if you feel down
With your chin on the ground
And suddenly you feel odd
Well just look all around
look down look down on the ground
you some might see some kind of piece of paper
floating around might just be a note from Mr God
