Verse 1
I've seen it goin' 'round when you get bad news
Thinkin' that you found a darker shade of blue
Lookin' for the light and it's a long way back
You know without a fight you're gonna fade to black
Never was a man that ever felt this way
one who couldn't stand to live another day
hard times seem to have the corner on you
but you can rise from the ashes too
Chorus
When I'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat
and even I believe I'm never gonna find my feet
Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around
one mans half way up is another mans half way down
Verse 2
Now you may decide it's a losin' game
even in your stride you're gonna call it lame
Gettin' one leg up when it's said and done
is the hardest part no matter how you run
If you can walk away from a crash and burn
you'll appreciate every step you earn
and if you feel the ground is gainin' on you
you're already bound to take a different view
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
One mans ceiling is another mans floor
One mans wall could be another mans door
One mans smile is another mans frown
and there are miles of half way up and half way down
