I feel frustration comin' back

I'm not sure just where I'm at

I'm losing touch w/ what I'm trying to be

I need someone to show the way

Not someone to share the blame

Well it's not down to you

It's up to me



Don't wanna hang from someone's string

Or answer someone else's ring

The things I'm wanting most in life are free

No, living hand-to-mouth's no treat

Till bitter end the dream's still sweet

It's not down to you

It's up to me



Well, it's up to me

Lord it's up to me

It's not down to you

It's up to me 2X



Well, I feel frustration coming back

I'm not sure just where I'm at

It seems the times and I just don't agree

But I can stand on my own feet

I won't quit until I'm beat

Well it's not down to you

It's up to me



It's up to me

Lord, it's up to me

It's not down to you

It's up to me
