"If nothing else, I know my place..."

Whooooooaaaaa, whoooaaaaaaaoooo, whoooaaaaaaaooooaaaoooooaaa,
Yesterday
Is not quite what it could've been,
As were most of all the days before.
But I swear today,
With every breath I'm breathing in,
I'll be trying to make it so much more...

Cause it seems I get so hung up on,
The history of what's gone wrong;
And the hope of a new day,
Is sometimes hard to see, (what you see?)
And though I'm finally catching onto it,
And now the past is just a conduit,
And the light there at the end is where I'll be...

Cause I'm on the up and up,
I'm on the up and up.
And I haven't given up,
Given up on what
I know I'm capable of.
And I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
Yeah there's nothing left to prove
Cause I'm just trying to be
A better version of me for You.
A better version of me for You...

Whooooooaaaaa, whoooaaaaaaaoooo, whoooaaaaaaaooooaaaoooooaaa,
To be prosperous
Would not require much of me
You see contentment is the one thing it entails,
To be content with where I am,
And getting where I need to be,
I'm moving past the past where I have failed...

But I'm finally catching onto it,
And now the past is just a conduit,
Right there at the end,
Is where I'll be.
Oh!

Cause I'm on the up and up,
I'm on the up and up.
And I haven't given up,
Given up on what
I know I'm capable of.
And I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
Yeah there's nothing left to prove
Cause I'm just trying to be
A better version of me for You.
A better version of me for You...

You never cease
To supply me with what I need
For a good life
So when I'm down I'll hold my head up high
Cause You're the reason why!

Cause I'm on the up and up,
I'm on the up and up.
And I haven't given up,
Given up on what
I know I'm capable of.
And I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
Yeah there's nothing left to prove
Cause I'm just trying to be
A better version of me for You.
A better version of me for You...

"I get so distracted by some people's reactions that I don't see my own faults for what they are. At times it's so self destructive, with no intent or motive, but behind this emotion, there lies a sensible heart..."
