Looking Up - Intellectual

[Instrumental Intro]

Black cloud hanging on my head

Haven't seen the sunshine for weeks

All I want to do is go to bed

Be a runaway in a dream

Well, I guess I could just pretend

Give the image of a man at peace

Cheap means to an empty end

When what I really need is some relief

Help me out

Like a statue stuck in time

I don't ever really seem to move

Maybe all of it is by design

But what's a pessimist supposed to do

Well, I guess I could just pretend

Give the image of a man who's free

Feet firm on a weak defense

When what I really need is some belief

Help me out

Help me

Help me out

Help me

Tired of staring down at my feet

I've been walking in a strange direction

I want to rise from this defeat

But am I wasting my time?

Feel the wind press on my back

Been fighting most my life against it

I hear the voice inside my head saying, "You're no good"

But I’m over it

Time to look on up

I’m looking up

I’m looking up (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Time to look on up (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

I’m looking up (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

I’m looking on up (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh, I’m looking up (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

I’m looking up (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Time to look on up (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
