Lyrics

Up at night sometimes I wonder
What it is you're dreaming about
Do you wake up in the morning fighting monsters?
Were you flying before you hit the ground?

The night before last I buried a butterfly
At the highest point of the tallest mountain range
Because the sky is a stranger to wings that are broken
But when you are down I'll lift you up again

When you are down I'll lift you up
If ever sorrow fills you're cup
If ever there's a time you need a friend
When you are down I'll lift you up again

Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your patience
Focus on the blessings you receive
Misfortune is a phase of a soon by gotten day
Raise yourself up to greet your own relief

When you are down I'll lift you up
If ever sorrow fills your cup
If ever there's a time you need a friend
When you are down I'll lift you up again

You gotta hold close to the lessons time will teach you
Be grateful for each triumph and mistake
Til it's all said and done, time will humble everyone
Give yourself enough to go at your own pace

When you are down I'll lift you up
If ever sorrow fills your cup
If ever there's a time you need a friend
When you are down I'll lift you up again
When you are down I'll lift you up again
