As the world heaves and crashes around you Can you keep your feet? Will you balance, as flexible as a willow Or suffer painful defeat? When the ground quakes And you've got the shakes From memories, so bittersweet Can you keep your feet? As the ocean roars And dams leak When hurricanes rage And floorboards squeak Can you keep your feet? When others talk behind your back Ambush with ferocious attack Will you have the courage to speak? Will you be able to keep your feet?

Can You Keep Your Feet?
As the world heaves and crashes around you Can you keep your feet? Will you balance, as flexible as a willow Or suffer painful defeat? When the ground quakes And you've got the shakes From memories, so bittersweet Can you keep your feet? As the ocean roars And dams leak When hurricanes rage And floorboards squeak Can you keep your feet? When others talk behind your back Ambush with ferocious attack Will you have the courage to speak? Will you be able to keep your feet?
When people talk behind your back Devilish thoughts, a planned attack Will you keep your balance And not fall for their taunts?
