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
