I feel frustration comin back
Im not sure just where Im at
Im losing touch w/ what Im trying to be
I need someone to show the way
Not someone to share the blame
Well its not down to you
Its up to me

Dont wanna hang from someones string
Or answer someone elses ring
The things Im wanting most in life are free
No, living hand-to-mouths no treat
Till bitter end the dreams still sweet
Its not down to you
Its up to me

Well, its up to me
Lord its up to me
Its not down to you
Its up to me 2x

Well, I feel frustration coming back
Im not sure just where Im at
It seems the times and I just dont agree
But I can stand on my own feet
I wont quit until Im beat
Well its not down to you
Its up to me

Its up to me
Lord, its up to me
Its not down to you
Its up to me
