Once you find what matters in your life 

Keep on pushing through the darkness 

Till you see the light 

You're gonna find it 

You're no longer behind it 



Once you learn what you've been doin' wrong 

You can make the change 

You need to make to carry on 

Now and forever 

The sooner the better, just remember now . . . 



It's a long way up 

When you're coming from nowhere 

It's a long way up 

When you're coming from nowhere 

You gotta fight a little harder 

You gotta push a little more 

You gotta gamble everything you got 

To get you through the door 

'Cause it's a long way up 



You've been down before but that's okay 

You can rest assured 

That every dog will have his day 

And life is a jungle 

But you ain't gonna crumble, remember now . . . 



It's a long way up 

When you're coming from nowhere 

It's a long way up 

When you're coming from nowhere 

You gotta fight a little harder 

You gotta push a little more 

You gotta gamble everything you got 

To get you through the door 

'Cause it's a long way up 



Don't give up the dream 

Hey don't you know it's dark before the dawn 

When you think you just can't take it 

That's when you'll make it
