Looking Up

Holes in his jeans Old shoes on his feet With a cardboard sign at a red light Got a few dollars out Rolled my window down Said, "I hope this helps you get by." He said "Man I won't tell my whole story but I'll tell you this much." There's a long list of roads to rock bottom Just a handful of ways to climb out Yeah, I've been hit with some punches Strong enough to make Superman's knees hit the ground Some things will make you start praying Whether you believe in God or not If you get low enough You'll start looking up I took his words with me as the light turned green Started looking back on my life The wrong turns in the rearview And all of my fears, too Rushed to the front of my mind I've seen my share of dead ends So, I can tell you this much There's a long list of roads to rock bottom Just a handful of ways to climb out Yeah, I've been hit with some punches Strong enough to make Superman's knees hit the ground Some things will make you start praying Whether you believe in God or not If you get low enough You'll start looking Up to the heavens Asking for help Saying, "Lord, I can't do this by myself." Up to the father Who calls you his own Up to the one Who can bring you back home There's a long list of roads to rock bottom But he's the only way out Yeah, I've been hit with some punches Strong enough to make Superman's knees hit the ground Some things will make you start praying Whether you believe in God or not If you get low enough You'll start looking up If you get low enough
