Right Side Up

(album: Brother To Brother - 1998)

It was a bad day in the mirror
There I stood the living dead
When I saw the face so familiar
Hovering like a voice over my head
It took me back to that October
I was playing to the crowd
I was suddenly stone cold sober
When I heard a voice calling out loud
He said...

Boy you're headed down the road that leads nowhere
There's only one direction you can turn, only love can take

You there

Right side up
Feel it from the inside
Hot side out
When you're on the downslide
Don't be afraid
Of praying to love
Hot side out, or right side up

Well, I ain't here to preach no sermon
But for me it was the truth
When the wind would crack and the thunder roared
Lord I thought that I was bulletproof

I was headed down the road to nowhere
There's only one direction you can turn, only love can take

You there

Right side up
Feel it from the inside
Hot side out
When you're on the downslide
Round and round
Down and out
Don't tell me that's what you're all about
Right side up
Feel it in your heartbeat
Don't back down
Walking down the right street
Don't be afraid

Of praying to love
Hot side out, or right side up

Once you get straight, you're headed in the right direction
You can see it clearly for the first time
Think you finally got the right side up

Oh, things are looking up

I was headed down the road to nowhere
There's only one direction you can turn, only love can take

You
Love can take you
Love can take you there

(Right side up)
Feel it from the inside
(Hot side out)
When you're on the downslide
Round and round
Down and out
Don't tell me that's what you're all about
Right side up
Feel it in your heartbeat
Don't back down
Walking down the right street
Don't be afraid
Of praying to love
Hot side out, or right side up
Oh, right side up
(Feel it in your heartbeat)
Right side up
(Walking down the right street)
Right side up
Oh, right side up
Right side up
Right side up
Right side up
Right side up
Right side up
Right side up
