I feel frustration comin' back I'm not sure just where I'm at I'm losing touch w/ what I'm trying to be I need someone to show the way Not someone to share the blame Well it's not down to you It's up to me Don't wanna hang from someone's string Or answer someone else's ring The things I'm wanting most in life are free No, living hand-to-mouth's no treat Till bitter end the dream's still sweet It's not down to you It's up to me Well, it's up to me Lord it's up to me It's not down to you It's up to me 2X Well, I feel frustration coming back I'm not sure just where I'm at It seems the times and I just don't agree But I can stand on my own feet I won't quit until I'm beat Well it's not down to you It's up to me It's up to me Lord, it's up to me It's not down to you It's up to me
