Looking Up Songtext
von Sidewalk Prophets

Holes in his jeans
Old shoes on his feet
With a cardboard sign at a red light
Got a few dollars out
Rolled my window down
Said, "I hope this helps you get by."
He said "Man I won′t tell my whole story but
I'll tell you this much."

There′s a long list of roads to rock bottom
Just a handful of ways to climb out
Yeah, I've been hit with some punches
Strong enough to make Superman's knees hit the ground
Some things will make you start praying
Whether you believe in God or not
If you get low enough
You′ll start looking up


I took His words with me as the light turned green
Started looking back on my life
The wrong turns in the rearview
And all of my fears too
Rushed to the front of my mind
I′ve seen my share of dead ends
So, I can tell you this much

There's a long list of roads to rock bottom
Just a handful of ways to climb out
Yeah, I′ve been hit with some punches
Strong enough to make Superman's knees hit the ground
Some things will make you start praying
Whether you believe in God or not
If you get low enough
You′ll start looking

Up to the heavens
Asking for help
Saying, "Lord, I can't do this by myself."
Up to the Father
Who calls you His own
Up to the One who can bring you back home


There′s a long list of roads to rock bottom
But he's the only way out
Yeah, I've been hit with some punches (ooh)
Strong enough to make Superman′s knees hit the ground
Some things will make you start praying (start praying)
Whether you believe in God or not
If you get low enough
You′ll start looking up

If you get low enough
