Nowhere to go but up
Nothin' doin' but to shoot for the sky
When you're lyin' there alone
Sinkin' like a stone
Time to spread your wings and fly

Nowhere to go but up
Get on up to where the angels sing
When you run outta road, heaven knows
Up is a beautiful thing

Had my fill of cryin' the blues
Time to shift the dial to the good news
When it's do-or-die for your sweetie pie:

Time to step up and put a smile on your face
Get on up to a better place
When the walls are closin' in
And the world comes to a stop
Up is all you got

Nowhere to go but up
Get on up and off your feet of clay
Though I feel real low, in my heart I know
Up is the only way

Nowhere to go but up
Move on up to a room with a view
When all the money on earth
Leaves you in a lurch
Up is the best you can do

Time to step up and put a smile on your face
Get on up to a better place
When the walls are closin' in
And the world comes to an end
Up is your only friend
