lyrics

At the bottom of the trench
But I’m dropping that shovel
Going up, Going up

I got a story to tell don’t interrupt me
It might take more than a minute
It’s a lot about my time in the army
I loved being in it
But I saw a whole new side of evil
Seen the nightmare that it brings
Now I’m trying to put my life back together
Find hope in the simple little things

They trained me to be what I had to be
I was good, brother I was so high-speed
But I came home with the full battle rattle
And the walls caved in around me
Drinking too hard, fighting real hard
Lost my faith and everything else
Got no excuses for all that’s gone wrong
I only blame myself

Every day .... get out of my own way
Try to inspire .... pull my brothers from the fire
Live with joy, live with hope
No hate depression fear
Be the man that I need to be now
That’s the reason I’m here

Going up, going up
Not blowing up, going up
Everyday showing up, going up
It’s hard growing up, going up
Going up, going up
