Lyric 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
