Oh I'm workin' my way up to the bottom fighting back the tears that never stop

Yes I'm workin' my way up to the bottom

And I won't need you when I'll reach the top



When you left the bottom just fell out from under me

Like a nightmare I kept fallin' endlessly

When I stopped I found a place so dark and lonely

But the light of hope now I can almost see

And I'm workin' my way up...

[ steel ]

Take away a blind man's cane you'll leave him helpless

That's what happened when you let go off my hand

As you turned away my arms reached out to hold you

And I fell into a well of pain as you ran

But now I'm workin' my way up...

Oh I'm workin' my way up...
