| Every now and then | |
| I begin again | |
| I push the rock up the mountain | |
| Though I'm learning slow | |
| Now I think I know | |
| How to step aside | |
| When the rock begins to slide | |
| Down, down, down | |
| To the bottom of the valley | |
| Down, down, down | |
| But I know it won't crush me anymore | |
| Every now and then | |
| I think I see a friend | |
| I push the rock up the mountain | |
| Ah, getting close to what I never knew | |
| I just step aside | |
| When the rock begins to slide | |
| Down, down, down | |
| To the bottom of the valley | |
| Down, down, down | |
| But I know it won't crush me anymore | |
| Love's not a simple thing | |
| If you're all alone | |
| And finding someone to care | |
| And when you reach him | |
| He's not there | |
| It slides | |
| Down, down, down | |
| To the bottom of the valley | |
| Down, down, down | |
| But I know it won't crush me anymore | |
| Here I go again | |
| Faith has time to lend | |
| I push the rock up the mountain | |
| Hope it won't be just | |
| Another joke on me | |
| But I just step aside | |
| If the rock begins to slide |
