The Only Way Up

The world sees "I’m doing fine"

The clock on the wall, just killing the time

They don't see the silence when I turn the key

Or the weight of the man that’s looking at me

I’ve mastered the art of the smile and the play

But I’m running on empty by the end of the day.

(Pre-Chorus - The Transition)

Then the hallway light catches a face in the door

And I don't feel like sinking to the floor anymore.

(Chorus - The "Number One Hit" Moment)

It’s not an ordinary love, no it’s deeper than breath

It’s my son who’s my legacy he gives me the strength to carry our world, it's my daughter who’s my angel who’s eyes pierce my soul, she see’s who i am, my light in darkest of nights, she’s pulled me from hell, that smile of love she’s the healer of my heart break,

People ask how I stand when the world pulls me down

But with her in my arms, my son on my back, I’m not losing my ground

Yeah, Freya, you light up the dark in my darkened heart

And your brother, he’s the one who makes me feel whole.

(Bridge - The Message to Them)

I’m getting back up, I’ll never give up,

You’ve made need into the man that you need in the middle of the night

When you ask why I do it, when I’ve got nothing left

I just look at your smiles... and I’m catching my breath.

(Outro)

No dark rooms tonight.

Just Daddy who loves you.

I lost my compass of this life, but I found my way, you’re my guiding light, my beacon of hope.

Feel your heart tonight as I’ll always be there.

I love you, I’m so proud to be blessed as your father,

Always remember You’re my everything.
