Half Way Up Lyrics - Black Clint

I've seen it going around when you get bad news 

Thinking that you found a darker shade of blues 

Looking for the light and it's a long way back 

You know without a fight you're gonna fade to black 

Never was a man that ever felt this way 

One who couldn't live to see another day 

Hard times seem to have the corner on you 

But you can rise from the ashes too 

When I'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat 

And even I believe I'm never gonna find my feet 

Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around 

One man's half way up is another man's half way down 

Now you may decide it's a losing game 

Even in your stride you're gonna call it lame 

Getting one leg up when it's said and done 

Is the hardest part no matter how you run 

If you can walk away from a crash and burn 

You'll appreciate every step you earn 

And if you feel the ground is gaining on you 

You're already bound to take a different view 

When I'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat 

And even I believe I'm never gonna find my feet 

Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around 

One man's half way up is another man's half way down 

One man's ceiling is another man's floor 

One man's wall could be another man's door 

One man's smile is another man's frown 

And there are miles of half way up or half way down
