Black cloud hanging on my head Haven't seen the sunshine for weeks All I want to do is go to bed Be a runaway in a dream Well, I guess I could just pretend Give the image of a man at peace Cheap means to an empty end When what I really need is some relief Help me out Like a statue stuck in time I don't ever really seem to move Maybe all of it is by design But what's a pessimist supposed to do Well, I guess I could just pretend Give the image of a man who's free Feet firm on a weak defense When what I really need is some belief Help me out Help me Help me out Help me Tired of staring down at my feet I've been walking in a strange direction I want to rise from this defeat But am I wasting my time? Feel the wind press on my back Been fighting most my life against it I hear the voice inside my head saying: You're no good But I'm over it Time to look on up I'm looking up I'm looking up (oh-oh-oh-oh) Time to look on up (oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm looking up (oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm looking on up (oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh, I'm looking up (oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm looking up (oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm looking up (oh-oh-oh-oh) Time to look on up (oh-oh-oh-oh)
