The Toyes - Pick Yourself Up Lyrics
Pick yourself up by your own bootstrapsPick yourself up, it's there for the tryingSo live like a lion and don't hold backPick yourself up and don't look backPick yourself by your own bootstrapsPick yourself up and start celebrating'Cause there's glory awaiting when you don't hold backI have sometimes felt the pain of disappointmentI have sometimes felt the arrows of regretI have sometimes felt completely overcome with sorrowBut today is not tomorrow and I won't look backPick yourself up and don't look backPick yourself up by your own bootstrapsPick yourself up, it's there for the tryingSo live like a lion and don't hold backYou say you're down, downWe're talking rock hard timesAnd you just can't catch a breakYou're just about to give upAnd say you couldn't give a chuckAbout staying in the raceBut brother it's time like these you gotta rise upBrother get off your knees you gotta rise upIf it seems like I'm talking to you then rise upWhat else are you gonna do but rise up?You never know what could happen nextYou might be screwed, you might be blessedBut he who rises up has no regretsI have sometimes been coerced by my own hungerI have felt the icy cold upon my neckI have sometimes had to beg and steal and borrowBut today is not tomorrow and I won't look backPick yourself up and don't look backPick yourself up by your own bootstrapsPick yourself up, it's there for the tryingSo live like a lion and don't hold backYes you can live like a lion when you don't hold back
