When I wake up
I try to stay up
I put the shades up
And let the rays come
And fill the space up
Get out the way cause
I'm bout to change up
I'm on the way up
Ever since I was a kid
Everyone said to dream big
Every step that I took
Everything that I did
I set my sight on the mountains
I said I'll never give in
I kept on climbing until I got to the top of the shit
But I would be lying if I said I never thought I could quit
Constantly trying not to let thoughts of incompetence in
Often I find myself wishing I was more confident but
I'm an optimist, so I try to stay positive when
When I wake up
I try to stay up
I put the shades up
And let the rays come
And fill the space up
Get out the way cause
I'm bout to change up
I'm on the way up
I'm not this perfect person
Some nights I get so nervous
That's why I write these verses
Pen and pad pursuit of purpose
I need a break from working
I wonder if it's worth it
Is it ok to say I hate the way they make us worship
Grinding away for earnings
Trading our days on earth in
So we can say we made enough that we can make a purchase
But all that shit is worthless, it only fades away
So I'ma put my focus on staying happy from day to day
When I wake up
I try to stay up
I put the shades up
And let the rays come
And fill the space up
Get out the way cause
I'm bout to change up
I'm on the way up
I'm going all the way up
I'm going all the way up
I've only got one life to live and I won't squander it up
So I'ma live every minute like it's all I was given
I'ma push every limit, this is just the beginning
Treat this life like it's precious 'cause it is
Every hour, every minute, every second is a gift
Everybody has their moments when they're going through some shit
Keep it pushin' and we'll meet up on the other side of it
You're gonna make it, we're going home
You ain't gotta do this on your own
Man I can't believe how time has flown
We were just some kids and now we're grown
But we've got a lot of life left to go
A lot of things left to learn
A lot of love left to give
And a lot of time left to grow
When I wake up
I try to stay up
I put the shades up
And let the rays come
And fill the space up
Get out the way cause
I'm bout to change up
I'm on the way up
I'm going all the way up
I'm going all the way up
I've only got one life to live and I won't squander it up
So I'ma live every minute like it's all I was given
I'ma push every limit, this is just the beginning
I try to stay up
I put the shades up
And let the rays come
And fill the space up

I'm bout to change up
I'm on the way up
