lyrics

Look up, my friend, past the light at the end,
Rise above the darkness at your feet,
Run past the repeat,
And don’t accept defeat.

Turtle overturned on the road,
Holding his heavy load,
Hurdle after hurdle, toe by toe,
Still such a long way to go.

Turn the hare back on his hollow head,
Who stole away in your stead,
You’ve planted your face inside the earth,
Your tears will grow your rebirth.

Look up, my friend, past the blinding bend,
Forgive yourself, before you mend,
The things you never done, I hear your call for help.

Our selfsame narrow sight drove us apart,
Meet me halfway, my partner,
Join our carriages by the roadside,
Admit to weakness, and give up pride,

I turned my foolish back on your grace
Made this land a waste,
We come from a common place, we run the same race,
Don’t look back, and don’t look down.

Look up, my friend, past the light at the end,
Rise above the darkness at your feet,
Run past the repeat,
And don’t accept defeat.

So your magic moment never came,
You think all you see’s the same,
Lift up your eyes and look north,
Seize your chance and boldly go forth.

Look up, it’ll launch the ball, flying off the ground,
Hope gives rise to the chance to rise against the odds,
Look up, on your back it’ll lift you up and let you float,
Don’t give up, hope is inside if you open up.
