about

I went through a stage a few years ago when I seemed to lose my dream. I had stacked on a heap of weight and was feeling pretty crappy.
I actually wrote the song while I was out walking one morning at 6am. I was thinking about how far I’d come in my life and how far I haven’t been yet, you know, a bit of self assessment. Up is a song about Determination and the ‘Never Give Up’ scenario. It fits in with where I am now in my career, knowing what’s in front of me.
Writing Up helped me lose nine kilos.

lyrics

There’s a world over the horizon I’ve been dreaming of
And it’s calling my name out loud this time, I’m gonna heed its call
Well, I know there’s no freeway to get me where I’m bound
I’ve been wandering lost getting nowhere, tryin’ to make some ground
There’s fire left in my heart and I’m gonna make a start

Hold back the water, wrestle the wind
Don’t let the fire get a punch in
Cut through the jungle, crash through the walls
I’ll get back up each time I fall

There’s a girl on top of a mountain who’s always on my mind
And there’s a whole lot of reasons we can’t be but I’ll still make the climb
I know I’ll meet resistence but she’s worth all I’ll pay
Two steps forward and one step back, I’ll reach her someday
There’s fire left in my heart and I’m gonna make a start

Hold back the water, wrestle the wind
Don’t let the fire get a punch in
Cut through the jungle, crash through the walls
I’ll get back up each time I fall

It’s a strong heart from where the journey starts to where it ends
All I need is endless strength to get back up again and again and again

Hold back the water, wrestle the wind
Don’t let the fire get a punch in
Cut through the jungle, crash through the walls
I’ll get back up each time I fall

Hold back the water, wrestle the wind
Don’t let the fire get a punch in
Cut through the jungle, crash through the walls
I’ll get back up each time I fall
