Elaine Faye - Get Back Up

I woke up late for work today
Alarm must have passed away
Either way I must say
It's making for a bad 'yeah'
Day by day I try to find a better 'yeah'
Way to make it through the frustrating
I hate my job but I gotta pay the rent
So I show up and smile and I act and pretend 'yeah'
Things are on the up and up 'yeah'
But it's hard when you're low in luck
It's bringing me down

It's bringing me down
I need to get back up
I need to get back up
It's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
I need to get back up
I need to get back up

Right now I walked into work a little late
And distracted with thoughts
Of how my boss will be reacting 'yeah'
I think of all the bills I gotta 'yeah'
Pay with no money
I'm robbing Peter just to try to pay Paul
And I know that the Lord's got a plan for us all 'yeah'
I know that life's hard some days 'yeah'
But I'm ready for the easy ways
It's bringing me down

It's bringing me down
I need to get back up
I need to get back up
It's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
I need to get back up
I need to get back up

Right now, right now, right now
I'm finding it difficult to stand tall
Back straight and hold my ground
Right now, right now,
I could use a little help in life
Holding this down

I walk to the bus
'Cause I can't afford a car
And the last couple blocks
I walk and explore 'yeah'
See the kids in the streets 'yeah'
Parents watching worriedly
they try so hard just to try to catch a break
hold down a steady job support the family 'yeah'
I know that life's hard some days 'yeah'
But there's gotta be an easier way

It's bringing me down
I need to get back up
I need to get back up
It's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
I need to get back up
I need to get back up

It's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
I need to get back up
I need to get back up
It's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
I need to get back up
I need to get back up
Right now
