While You'Re Rising Up

Everybody has to struggle sometime Underneath the canopy of defeat To come out on the other side And stand on your own two feet When the winds blow heavy on your hill With anguished strength for search of will Know that I know this... It's an opportunity missed So don't let it get you down Let it get you down Let it get you down While you're rising up And when world appears an empty cup There's still more left to fill you up So don't let it get you down Let it get you down Let it get you down While you're rising up Everybody has to muddle through The darkest kind of storms Until the skies are parted blue And the brilliant rainbow forms And when you're looking for a reason To look forward to another season Comin' round... you can rebound And don't let it get you down Let it get you down Let it get you down While you're rising up Go on, take hold of the kite string Be brave, be bold, it's the right thing There's much to your surprise When you finally realize Keep a focus in your eyes Be alive...while you're rising up We all sometimes walk a worried path Without compass and feeling lost In summation, when you do the math Rich returns to pay the cost When the world appears an empty cup There's still more left to fill you up So don't let it get you down Let it get you down Let it get you down While you're rising up Go on unfurl your kite tail You'll succeed if you know you might fail The only promises guaranteed Are in the measure of our deeds Of our love filled patient planted seeds All is found... So don't let it bring you down Let it bring you down Let it bring you down While you're rising up
