Down to Get Up Again

Know the weather will get colder
That it can’t always be spring
When I pushed you in a stroller you were looking up
Singing life like a church hymn

You are gonna find your place child
Of that much I know I’m sure
Keep on laughing at the rain I guess
Isn’t that the place to start

Someday you will be stronger than you are now
But you will not know everything
And when the water’s spilling over the bow
You’ll still have me in the wings

You gotta get up to get down kid
You gotta get down to get up again

Treat your mother like she’s made of gold
After all she brought you here
And if you’re lost go see the ocean
It will always help you steer

Someday you will be stronger than you are now
But you will not know everything
And when the water’s spilling over the bow
You’ll still have me in the wings

You gotta get up to get down kid
You gotta get down to get up again

Someday I will be weaker than I am now
And I still won’t know everything
But when I’m passing up and over those clouds
I hope that you’ll have learned from me

Someday you will be stronger than you are now
But you will not know everything
And when the water’s spilling over the bow
You’ll still have me in the wings

You gotta get up to get down kid
You gotta get down to get up again
