Poem
Washed Up Ever had the feeling that you've had enough Life kicks you in the teeth and you feel washed up Like a ship in a bottle sailing stormy seas It's a never ending struggle brings you to your knees When life brings you down gotta bounce back up Take a deep breath suck it in buttercup Dig deep stand tall get over it all Hold your head up high eyes front don't cry Ever tried so hard still not made the grade Gave it your best shot lost the cards you played Shook the bottle hard took the wind from the sails Felt like your life was heading off the rails When you feel so low gotta take a deep breath in Suck it all up 'cause one day you'll win Give it all you got give it one more shot Stand up to the pain try it over again Ever felt washed up when it all goes wrong And the radio's on but plays the wrong song Take a deep breath in and count up to ten Let it out real slow then do it over again Ever thought you had it in the palm of your hand Only then your dream crumbles like it's sand So you stare at the bottle and you open the lid Empty the contents not knowing you did Wake up in the morning with a head real sore Check out the bottle but there is no more Head for the shower turn it to full power Wash away your dreams as the water steams Ever felt washed up when it all goes wrong And the radio's on but plays the wrong song Take a deep breath in and count up to ten Let it out real slow then do it over again Ever woken up feeling broken and lost Found the bottle lying in the bin you tossed Looked out of the window watched the world go by Unaware of the tears falling as you cry Turn and look around at the mess you're in Life a big struggle now you need to dig in Give it one more shot give it all you got Keep going don't stop you'll reach the top Ever felt washed up when it all goes wrong And the radio's on but plays the wrong song Take a deep breath in and count up to ten Let it out real slow then do it over again (C) Jane Shields
