Up and Up


lyrics to a great song that's encouraged me today:
Yesterday
Is not quite what it could've been
As were most of all the days before
But I swear today
With every breath I'm breathing in
I'll be trying to make it so much more
Cause it seems I get so hung up on
The history of what's gone wrong
And the hope of a new day
Is sometimes hard to see
But I'm finally catching onto it
Yeah the past is just a conduit
And the light there at the end is where I'll be
'Cause I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up
Given up on what I know I'm capable of
And I'm on the up and up
Yeah there's nothing left to prove
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for you
A better version of me for you
To be prosperous
Would not require much of me
You see contentment is the one thing it entails
To be content with where I am
And getting where I need to be
I'm moving past the past where I have failed
But I'm finally catching onto it
Yeah the past is just a conduit
And the light there at the end is where I'll be

'Cause I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up
Given up on what I know I'm capable of
And I'm on the up and up
Yeah there's nothing left to prove
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for you
A better version of me for you
You never cease to supply
me with what I need for a good life
So when I'm down
I'll hold my head up high
'Cause you're the reason why
I'm on the up and up
