The bar is set so high that i can walk right under
Can't reach even on my tippie toes.
No matter how far i run in training for this marathon
I trip in fall, loose by a nose
Then something taps me on the shoulder
I listen when it's older, than me
It says 'look up
Reach out your hand,
You can't see anything new
'Til you change where you stand'
I'll throw you a rope
You know you're just a fellow prisoner of hope (prisoner of hope).
Another day, another no
Sucker punch leaves me bunched on the floor (woe is me)
This is when i fall into a downward spiral
Negative thoughts feed vanity (and i'm so hungry)
Then something taps me on the shoulder
I listen when it's older, than me
It says 'look up, reach out your hand
You can't see anything new
'Til you change where you stand'
I'll throw you a rope
You know you're just a fellow prisoner of hope.
From the high wall
Sometimes all we see
Is how hard we could fall
So what if we do?
We rise mud-scraped and bruised
Maybe we have to be a little bit broken to hear hope call.
Look up reach out your hand
You can't see anything new
'Til you change where you stand
I'll throw you a rope
You know you're just a fellow prisoner of hope
You know you're just a fellow prisoner of hope
You know you're just a fellow prisoner of hope (prisoner of hope).
