Back on Your Feet

And how much does it take To get back on your feet When it all breaks down When you bite the grit Some say youth is gone Stand up and carry on strong Against adversity To our future to come I got nowhere to hide Left my pride on the side Telling my deeds To boozers and freaks And I swore to the wind I would never grow up But I knew it was a lie Just a matter of time And the path men take Are winding, crooked lines Stories we write On scars not to display Hard times come And hard times go It's up to me to bring it home While the wind still blows Not a shoulder, not a safe place Not a single day with no fire inside And how much does it take To get back on your feet When it all breaks down When you bite the grit Some say youth is gone Stand up and carry on strong Against adversity To our future to come Heads down and we sweat Always late, almost dead Plodding on in the light Fate's a mastery of sleight When alone in the dark Comes a creepy question mark Is it the life we agreed upon Or the one we stumbled on Not a shoulder, Not a safe place Not a single day with no fire inside And how much does it take To get back on your feet When it all breaks down When you bite the grit Some say youth is gone Stand up and carry on strong Against adversity To our future to come So we tread and we dwell In the sorrow, through this pain And we'll never, oh never Be fulfilled with what we hold in hand We spend a life to make it work It takes a minute to ruin it all We spent days, months, years Trying to make it work But that bloody one minute was worth it all And how much does it take To get back on your feet When it all breaks down When you bite the grit Some say youth is gone Stand up and carry on strong Against adversity To our future to come
