Hold me Don’t hold me down Carry me But keep my feet on the ground That storm is coming down hard I’m your shelter every time it starts But if you leave me, I’ll be moving on You’ll have a hard time drying When the fire is gone I’ll hold ya I won’t hold ya down I’ll carry ya But keep your feet on the ground You’re the storm and I’m the murray darling You keep me going Every time I’m dry But if you leave me I’ll be moving on But have a hard time running When the weather is gone Hold me, don’t hold me down Carry me, but keep my feet on the ground I’ll hold ya, I won’t hold ya down I’ll carry ya, but keep your feet on the ground In so many ways I just keep pulling But you’re pushing me away Me away Hold me, don’t hold me down Carry me, but keep my feet on the ground I’ll hold ya, I won’t hold ya down Carry ya, but keep your feet on the ground Hold me, don’t hold me down Love me, but don’t let me drown Man of the universe Well I’ve been running since I was child Running like a river after the rains have died Ain't never had one place to call my home Lay my head in a different place unknown I wake up early and I wake late But I never had time to hesitate I pick up my paper and I pick up my bread There's room on the road ahead I don’t want no country to call my own I don’t need one place to call my home There ain’t no one place or people are that are better or worse I’m a man of the universe Like a good strong flowing river that's never been dammed Never had to change never had no plan To collect too much wealth it’s a curse We never had the sense to change, what’s worse Never needed no land never need no borders Never needed to stay in one place to count up pennies or quarters Never had enough of them to put in my own purse, I'm a man of the universe I don’t want no country to call my own I don’t need one place to call my home There ain’t no one place or people are better or worse I’m a man of the universe I’m a man of the universe I’m not from here I’m from the universe
