This can't be my life
what I see in the mirror
this can't be my life
I don't remember getting here

Where did I go wrong
how did I get lost
I just kept going on
but what did it cost?

I used to have a dream
I used to plan and scheme
took every wrong turn
but i'm not giving up
so there's only one way baby,
and that's UP


ok here's where I need help

I need UP phrases

makin up, growin up, living it up, lookin up, blah blah


help?? please/

This is a painful realization to come to, redwriter.  I have lived this life and you need lots of UPS!!  

How about one of these: looking up to a clear blue sky, lighting up the night with your eyes, never giving up on the fight.  Best I can do right now.  Best of luck to you.

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lone wolf..... you seem to have some insight into what im saying... I'm surprised by that...
I guess you must know something about how I'm feeling.
Maybe you could email me sometime?

xoxo thanks (hugg)

Im NO songwriter and my muse went south(again)...
but I like to play with rhymes to unwind so here goes nothing
=========================

Gotta get on up, make right whats wrong
I've been down now for far too long
Gotta get on up ... get back to living
Im gonna take some of what I'm always giving

gonna get on up, back to the me I used to be
gonna break these chains and set me free
gonna get on up,theres only one thing left to do
No more looking behind, gonna find my way back to you
=========================

We're all feeding our lonely like it might go away,
Like the doors of heaven will swing wide open if we just find the right words to say.

I look at up as the stairs to climb,
taking one step, one at a time.
Soon I WILL reach up to the top,
and even then, I don't plan to stop.
I find it is a landing half way there,
so once again, I go up those stairs.

Then I find, I left it all behind,
going up in my upward climb.
All the trash is left down the stairs,
swept in little pieces under the chairs.
For now I LIVE, being up once again,
and embrace my new life as a welcome friend.

Gentle smile, good luck and don't stumble on the stairs
