grover washington jr. - uptown lyrics

he gets up each morning and he goes downtown
where everyone’s his boss
and he’s lost in an angry land
he’s a little man
but then he comes uptown
each evening to my tentament
uptown where folks don’t have to pay much rent
and when he’s there with me
he can see that he’s everything
the man is tall, he don’t crawl. he’s a king
downtown he’s just one of a million guys
he don’t get no breaks
and he takes all they got to give
’cause he’s got to live
but then he comes uptown
where he can hold his head up high
and uptown he knows i’m gonna be standing by
and when i take his hand
there’s no man who can put him down, down, down
oh, the world is sweet at his feet when he’s uptown
whoa-oo-oh-whoa
when he’s uptown
whoa-oo-whoa-oo-whoa-oh-oh
let me tell ya now
uptown where he can hold his head up high
uptown he knows that i am standing by
and when i take his hand there’s no man who could put him down
the world is sweet, it’s at his feet, when he’s uptown
whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
let me tell ya now, uptown
whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
