We got to pick ourselves up
Every time we fall down
Knock off the dust
We gathered on the ground.

Everybody falls
We all make mistakes
When our backs are against the walls
Only so much we can face.

Don’t always see things clearly
When there’s so much in our view
For when your back is against the wall
You seldom look at you.

Just try fighting everything off
To create a bit of freedom
Till you can find a gap
Create a little room to breathe in.

When we find our space
And embrace what’s gone on
It can take time to regain pace
In the direction we belong.

We got to pick ourselves up
Every time we fall
Keep our heads up
Keep moving from the wall.

Sometimes the past will drag you back
You must try move forward still
Give yourself a little slack
Maintain a solid will.

Keep a little hope
To go with our self faith
Luck might give us a little stroke
Relieve a little weight.

We got to pick ourselves up
Every time we fall
Keep our heads up
Keep moving from the wall.
