Lyrics

#VERSE
I fear one day this old body won't be naught but skin and bones
These blessed strong convictions hang like all my loosened clothes
And there’s no peace at night
And every time the darkness comes
There's less of me, and less of me
When will I learn my lesson...

#CHORUS
Up and out
Up and out
I wanna hop high and laugh and shout
Michael throw me on your shoulder
Teach me what this life's about
Get me on up and out of here

#VERSE
One day I'm smiling at the raindrops then I'm weeping at the sun
Sometimes it doesn't help a thing to know you're not the only one
When you've dug that valley
Deep and low
You can hear the whistle blowin
But you can't find the way to go

#CHORUS
Up and out
Up and out
I wanna hop high and laugh and shout
Michael throw me on your shoulder
Teach me what this life's about
Get me on up and out of here

#INSTRUMENTAL

#BRIDGE
When I look in the mirror and don't like anything in sight
My soul's in need of shaking up to help me see the light
When fear is loud and my poor heart just won't put up a fight
I can dress it up, take it out and hope that joy will bite

#VERSE
Well I'm grinning at my grizzly, I'm laughing at my shade
I'm wise enough to rise above this childish mess I've made
And I can lean upon the strength and warmth of others arms
I've got angels in my corner I can hear their battle cry
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, our love won't be denied"

#CHORUS
Up and out (up and out)
Up and out (up and out)
I wanna hop high and laugh and shout
Michael throw me on your shoulder
Teach me what this life's about
Get me on up and out
Get me on up and out
Get me on up and out of here
