Perspective

They say "don't hang your head," everything's fine
But I'm not hanging so much as pushing myself back up
Up from the bottom, from my feet through my spine

If I stay down here, how can I start my climb
So I push myself, force myself to backup
They say "don't hang your head," everything's fine

I'm not wallowing in pity, I'm proud as a rise
I dig myself in the ground as I feel my head pickup
Up from the bottom, from my feet through my spine

As I fight through the struggle, I won't let it define
My self-talk becomes "You can do this Buttercup!"
They say "don't hang your head," everything's fine

And finally I'm up, walking on down the line
Though the pain radiates, shooting up,
Up from the bottom, from my feet through my spine

But that tells me it's worth it, the effort, the grind
It starts getting better now, it starts to look up
They say "don't hang your head," everything's fine
Up from the bottom, from my feet through my spine
