It's late and I am tired
Wish I could spark a smile
The place is flying high but right now I wanna be low
Don't wanna move an inch
Let alone a million miles
And I don't wanna go but I know I gotta go
I just want to feel alive
The times you don't wanna wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta lie up
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up
Seems like the more you grow
The more time you spend alone
Before you know it you end up perfectly on your own
The city's shining bright
But you don't see the light
How can you concentrate on things that don't make you feel right
I just want to feel all right
The times you don't wanna wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta lie up
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up
I'm looking for more than a little bit
I'm gonna have to find my way through it
Gonna leave a mark
I'm gonna set a spark
I'm coming above the ground
I won't be looking down
The times you don't wanna wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta lie up
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up

Lights: Keep Your Head Up
You know when you're at the absolute depths of feelings and it seems like you are so distraught you fight the tears but they win, you're crying and crying and not quite sure why you're crying in the first place? You're fed up and without solutions and on your knees, pleading for the answers, like- now? Well, then this song comes on and you really feel inspired...I hope it inspires you too:

I'm not extremely spiritual, but I do believe in karma. You seem like a good person that's been through a terrible experience that was beyond your control. I understand that physical and emotional recovery can be long and unpleasant. That doesn't mean there aren't good things to come, though. This might seem like a poor reference, but sometimes you actually can pull meaningful logic from comedy: Joe Dirt said it best, "All I got to do is keep being a good person. No matter what, good things will come my way." It sounds like a terribly written line, but in my experience: I have found that staying positive and staying true to your values through tough times, tends to create greater potential life benefits down the road. I know this doesn't directly relate to your song, but I thought I might be able to provide some meaningful words. If not, I'm sorry for being the ridiculous guy who recites Joe Dirt quotes. I hope everything works out well for you.
