Time is running away, like sand slipping through my hands Looking back from where we came, I can see it all so clear We've been walking down the same road And now we're ready to just let go Not always like you have imagined Heading in a new direction And you gotta go up when you're down You gotta know when it's time And you gotta go up, leave behind You gotta know And you gotta go up You gotta know And you gotta go up You gotta know I was there in his place, closer led me astray Better take a risk than never know Can't see back when, now I can't pretend Just to show my score Like my mother always said You gotta take it in your own ways There will always be mistakes Gotta trust there will be new ways And you gotta go up when you're down You gotta know when it's time And you gotta go up, leave behind You gotta know And you gotta go up You gotta know And you gotta go up You gotta know And you gotta go up when you're down You gotta know when it's time And you gotta go up, leave behind You gotta know And you gotta go up You gotta know And you gotta go up You gotta know And you gotta go up when you're down You gotta know when it's time And you gotta go up, leave behind You gotta know You gotta know
