Look Up

Tossing and turning in my bed
millions of things going in my head
just when I think I'm a step closer
I realize my dreams are thousands of miles ahead

Trying to hold on to that last thread of sanity
Finding the light that was once lost in me
Gasping for air reaching out my right hand
Hoping someone will hold me up and help me stand

Drowning in my own tears
Instead of counting sheep, I'm counting my fears
And just when I'm about to let go 
A little voice whispered in my ears

Rise! Rise from your depressed state and anxiety
Rise from the ashes of your self - pity
Show the world what you're made of
Leave them in awe with your ability

Pick yourself up after you stumble 
Life is not measured by how many times you fall down
When everything feels like a cookie crumble 
Know you could always turn it all around

Don't keep your head down. Look up!
Take and drink from HIS loving cup
Don't wallow in your sorrow, don't you every give up!
Your GOD is bigger than your fear, so look up!
