Stand Up Nine
I am eager for a break
To give meaning to it all
I am up for better times
Anytime
My approach of give and take
Makes me wonder what I've gained
No surprise
I felt uptight
Every time
You hold me up when I don't mind
To let you down and pass my time
Hoping for another day
Spent with all senses awake
You're keeping track of all my steps
When every trap is wisely set
It's been often emphasised
"Fall eight times and stand up nine"
You're the reason I can make
Something genuine out of fake
I can tune the warnings out
Anytime
Never thought I could relate
To the lessons you've explained
You are picking the sublime
From the grind
I could change myself and be much more refined
Or I'd turn my head leaving you denied
I could blaze a trail and say an old goodbye
And I might
And I might
