I USED TO WANDER AIMLESSLY AND BLAMING EVERYBODY AROUND
FOR THE BAD THAT'S IN MY LIFE AND THE THINGS THAT BROUGHT ME DOWN
BUT I REALIZED IF THINGS ARE GONNA' CHANGE, THE ONLY ONE CAN DO IT IS ME

YOU GOT TO PICK YOURSELF UP AND DUST YOURSELF OFF
TAKE A GOOD LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SEE

CHORUS
GET UP AND WALK, TIGHTEN YOUR BELT
STAND ON YOUR FEET AND HELP YOURSELF
DON'T WE BE WAITING AROUND FOR SOMEONE TO SHOW YOU THE WAY
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, STAY OFF THE FLOOR
DON'T BE AFRAID OF A SLAMMING DOOR
DON'T WAIT FOR YOUR SHIP TO COME IN, JUMP IN AND SWIM

NOW IN THIS LIFE THERE'S SO MUCH TROUBLE THAT YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR
DON'T EVER LOOK BACK, KEEP WALKING STRAIGHT AHEAD
REMEMBER WHERE YOU WERE BEFORE
WHEN LIFE'S GOT YOU DOWN AND SPINNING ALL AROUND
YOU CAN TAKE THIS ADVICE FOR SURE
JUST TAKE THE BEST, LEAVE THE REST
DON'T SETTLE FOR NOTHING LESS, THE WORLD IS AT YOUR DOOR

REPEAT CHORUS

IF YOU START TO FALL, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL, THERE'S SO MUCH YOU GOT
TO LIVE FOR

REPEAT CHORUS
