Half Way Up

I've seen it going around when you get bad news

Thinking that you found a darker shade of blues

Looking for the light and it's a long way back

You know without a fight you're gonna fade to black

Never was a man that ever felt this way

One who couldn't live to see another day

Hard times seem to have the corner on you

But you can rise from the ashes too



When i'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat

And even i believe i'm never gonna find my feet

Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around

One man's half way up is another man's half way down



Now you may decide it's a losing game

Even in your stride you're gonna call it lame

Getting one leg up when it's said and done

Is the hardest part no matter how you run



If you can walk away from a crash and burn

You'll appreciate every step you earn

And if you feel the ground is gaining on you

You're already bound to take a different view



When i'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat

And even i believe i'm never gonna find my feet

Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around

One man's half way up is another man's half way down



One man's ceiling is another man's floor

One man's wall could be another man's door

One man's smile is another man's frown

And there are miles of half way up or half way down
