My Way Up

I've known since I was young
I wouldn't stay where I was from
Wouldn't take the easy road
Went ahead and made my own
Why walk when you could run?

I had to get used to "no"
Every high takes a low
I can't go with the flow
When I wanna make waves
Oh but I'm seeing it now
Just like a break in the clouds
Feel the sun shining down on me

I'm on my way up
Won't look back
I'm on my way up
Past has passed
Cuz I found that strength inside of me
Got my head up high cuz I believe
I'm on my way up
And I'm going, I'm going up my way
I'm going, I'm going up my way
I'm going, I'm going up my way

Thank god for my mistakes
For the tears and the lonely days
Even though it hurt like hell
No I never lost myself
Cuz I bend but I don't break
Oh and I'm seeing it now
Just like a break in the clouds
Feel the sun shining down on me

I'm on my way up
Won't look back
I'm on my way up
Past has passed
Cuz I found that strength inside of me
Got my head up high cuz I believe
I'm on my way up
And I'm going, I'm going up my way
I'm going, I'm going up my way
I'm going, I'm going up my way

I'm still fighting my demons
But I don't believe them
Finally following my soul
I'm still me but I'm better
I'm stronger than ever
And I know

I'm on my way up
Won't look back
I'm on my way up
Past has passed
Cuz I found that strength inside of me
Got my head up high cuz I believe
I'm on my way up
And I'm going, I'm going up my way
I'm going, I'm going up my way
I'm going, I'm going up my way
I'm going, I'm going up my way
