I'm not sure just where I'm at
I'm losing touch w/ what I'm trying to be
I need someone to show the way
Not someone to share the blame
Well it's not down to you
It's up to me

Don't wanna hang from someone's string
Or answer someone else's ring
The things I'm wanting most in life are free
No, living hand-to-mouth's no treat
Till bitter end the dream's still sweet
It's not down to you
It's up to me

Well, it's up to me
Lord it's up to me
It's not down to you
It's up to me     2X

Well, I feel frustration coming back
I'm not sure just where I'm at
It seems the times and I just don't agree
But I can stand on my own feet
I won't quit until I'm beat
Well it's not down to you
It's up to me

It's up to me
Lord, it's up to me
It's not down to you
It's up to me
