Verse 1

 I've seen it goin' 'round when you get bad news

Thinkin' that you found a darker shade of blue

 Lookin' for the light and it's a long way back

 You know without a fight you're gonna fade to black

 Never was a man that ever felt this way

one who couldn't stand to live another day

 hard times seem to have the corner on you

 but you can rise from the ashes too

Chorus

 When I'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat

 and even I believe I'm never gonna find my feet

 Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around

 one mans half way up is another mans half way down

Verse 2

 Now you may decide it's a losin' game

even in your stride you're gonna call it lame

 Gettin' one leg up when it's said and done

 is the hardest part no matter how you run

 If you can walk away from a crash and burn

you'll appreciate every step you earn

 and if you feel the ground is gainin' on you

 you're already bound to take a different view

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

 One mans ceiling is another mans floor

 One mans wall could be another mans door

 One mans smile is another mans frown

 and there are miles of half way up and half way down
