lyrics

Used to be I couldn’t see the stars in the night
Used to be I wouldn’t look up above for fright
Wouldn’t dare to look at myself in the mirror
Couldn’t face up to the facts or the fear

The sun comes up on the eastern horizon
And I know that I really should be rising
But my mind is still dark, don’t want to wake up
Still can’t find a way to hold my head up

Used to think that I was all alone
Used to believe my actions were all written in stone
But some helpful words came like light from above
Start to believe in what I’m made of

The sun comes out from behind a dark gray cloud
Start to believe I can figure it all out
Not alone anymore, friends can help me up
Help me find a way to hold my head up

The sun’s light shines all around
No longer unsure, I can hold my ground
Friends, faith and belief has helped me up
I have learned I can always hold my head up
