The Toyes - Pick Yourself Up lyrics

Pick yourself up and don't look back Pick yourself up by your own bootstraps Pick yourself up, it's there for the trying So live like a lion and don't hold back Pick yourself up and don't look back Pick yourself by your own bootstraps Pick yourself up and start celebrating 'Cause there's glory awaiting when you don't hold back I have sometimes felt the pain of disappointment I have sometimes felt the arrows of regret I have sometimes felt completely overcome with sorrow But today is not tomorrow and I won't look back Pick yourself up and don't look back Pick yourself up by your own bootstraps Pick yourself up, it's there for the trying So live like a lion and don't hold back You say you're down, down We're talking rock hard times And you just can't catch a break You're just about to give up And say you couldn't give a chuck About staying in the race But brother it's time like these you gotta rise up Brother get off your knees you gotta rise up If it seems like I'm talking to you then rise up What else are you gonna do but rise up? You never know what could happen next You might be screwed, you might be blessed But he who rises up has no regrets I have sometimes been coerced by my own hunger I have felt the icy cold upon my neck I have sometimes had to beg and steal and borrow But today is not tomorrow and I won't look back Pick yourself up and don't look back Pick yourself up by your own bootstraps Pick yourself up, it's there for the trying So live like a lion and don't hold back Yes you can live like a lion when you don't hold back
