The Only Way Is Up

“They tried to break me,

They tried to bury me,

But my God raised me higher.

The only way from here… is up.”

I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised,

Carried chains I didn’t choose.

But every time I hit the ground,

His mercy pulled me back around.

No turning back, no giving in,

I rise with every breath again.

The only way is up, I won’t fall down,

My feet are steady on holy ground.

The storm is gone, the skies erupt,

I’ve found my strength — the only way is up.

From the ashes I arise,

With Heaven’s fire in my eyes.

Every battle, every scar,

Brought me closer to who You are.

I’ve seen the worst, but still I stand,

Carried by Your guiding hand.

No fear, no chains, no holding back,

I walk the narrow, righteous path.

The only way is up, I won’t fall down,

My feet are steady on holy ground.

The storm is gone, the skies erupt,

I’ve found my strength — the only way is up.

From the ashes I arise,

With Heaven’s fire in my eyes.

No more falling, no more chains,

Only freedom in His name!

No more shadows, no more lies,

I see the truth, I see the skies!

The only way is up, I won’t fall down,

My feet are steady on holy ground.

The storm is gone, the skies erupt,

I’ve found my strength — the only way is up.

From the ashes I arise,

With Heaven’s fire in my eyes.

The only way is up…

Yeah, the only way is up!

“…I’ve risen, and I won’t fall again.

The only way… is up.”
