lyrics

I'M IN A LOW PLACE, I'M ON A HIGH ROAD
BEEN IN A LOW STATE, SINGING A HIGH NOTE
I BEEN LOW DOWN, BUT THINGS ARE LOOKING UP
I'VE BEEN DOWN AROUND THE BOTTOM BUT
I'LL END UP ON TOP

WELL IT'S A HARD WAY, I'M ON A STRAIGHT ROAD
IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY, BUT LORD I'M HEADING HOME
I SEE A LONG LIFE, BEYOND THAT TOMBSTONE
AND THOUGH I'M DOWN AROUND THE BOTTOM I'LL
END UP ON TOP

I'M IN A LOW PLACE, I'M TAKIN' THE HIGH ROAD
BEEN IN THAT LOW STATE, BUT SINGING THEM HIGH NOTES
I BEEN WAY DOWN, BUT I'M A GETTIN' UP
I MIGHT BE DOWN AROUND THE BOTTOM
YEAH CRAWLIN' 'ROUND THE BOTTOM
I BEEN DOWN AROUND THE BOTTOM BUT I'LL
END UP ON TOP

AND I AIN'T GONNA STOP, TIL I END UP ON TOP
RIGHT THERE UP ON TOP, THAT'S THE PROMISE I GOT
SO TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT, I'LL STILL END ON TOP

YEAH ME AND JESUS
