Ups and Downs Lyrics

I've seen mountain tops and I've hit rock bottom

I've loved and I've lost

I've watched relationships blossom

I've had everything and I've had nothing at all

There have been times when I've been left to sit with my thoughts

These nights can be lonely and that is no lie

Sometimes I can't fight my feelings inside

But when I step back, I start to see that all of these emotions are a part of me

Yeah, I feel them for a reason and there ain't no point in leading myself down destructive ways of the past

No, I've learned to let go and let the new ways take hold

Find beauty in the balance and relax

There will be ups and there will be downs but it takes both to make it so astounding

This experience we share and the love that we bear

It's what keeps our hearts pounding

If we didn't have a light would we know the dark

If there were no suffering would there be a spark to change what you do

Change who you are

To get up take action and make a start at doing what you love

Following your dreams

Listening to your heart and setting yourself free

For so long I feared being alone

Not having a home and wondering what I would do on my own

With all that I felt I didn't trust myself

And ultimately, I created my own hell

I trapped myself in cycles cause I couldn't let go

I was searching for validation and depriving myself of hope

Then one day it clicked

I need to use my gift

Stop searching for this pleasure and get on a different kick

When benefiting the ego is the only gain

In the end you're sure to only find pain

But when you align your heart and mind you'll find that you're right on time

It may sound obscene but there's an in between of your love and your fear if you stay right here

Learn to let go, let your life unfold, see what will appear when your vision is clear

If we didn't have a light would we know the dark

If there were no suffering would there be a spark to change what you do

Change who you are

To get up take action and make a start at doing what you love

Following your dreams

Listening to your heart and setting yourself free

If I have any advice, it's to go and live your life

Don't worry about what they say

Just take it all in stride

Everything is temporary

Nothing will stay the same

So be kind

Live life your way

If we didn't have a light would we know the dark

If there were no suffering would there be a spark to change what you do

Change who you are

To get up take action and make a start at doing what you love

Following your dreams

Listening to your heart and setting yourself free
