Coming Up Slowly (Austin Artist Spotlight LIVE) Lyrics

I opened my eyes for the first time today

As I looked around I remembered the pain

The sound of a voice that was calling my name

Never crossed my mind that I didn't have to stay

When you're underground you are out of reach

There is plenty of air but it's still hard to breathe

Try to dig your way out but you're in a way too deep

Can't tell up from down where the walls start to creep

Fast forward, it's over now, I'm living above ground

Can't say I could see it then

But walls of earth doesn't make a cage you can keep me in

Sun in my eyes and wind at my back

It was a lifetime ago but I wasn't keeping track

It's not where I thought I'd be but it's exactly what I need

Now that I'm free it's easy to see

I let it happen to me but I'm coming up slowly

Coming up slowly

I'm moving away from the things of the past

Made me who I am but I'm not looking back

What I thought was a snake is a rope in my grasp

Each step that I take takes me further than the last

Fast forward, it's over now I'm living above ground

Can't say I could see it then

What was a snake is a rope to climb, you can't keep me in

Sun in my eyes and wind at my back

It was a lifetime ago but I wasn't keeping track

It's not where I thought I'd be but it's exactly what I need

Now that I'm free it's easy to see

I let it happen to me but I'm coming up slowly

Coming up slowly

Sun in my eyes and wind at my back

It was a lifetime ago but I wasn't keeping track

It's not where I thought I'd be but it's exactly what I need

Now that I'm free it's easy to see

I let it happen to me but I'm coming up slowly

Coming up slowly

Coming up slowly
