lyrics
Hey! No more feeling sad today
’Cause I’ve spent too many hours feeling shifty, shaky, cold in my soul
And I’m so tired of playing victim, acting sorry for myself
Whining ’bout the hand that I’ve been dealt
Wake up, wake up
It’s time to start again
And I’m upwards and on
I’m ready to begin
I’ve left the past behind, I’m starting to feel free
And now I’m getting, getting, getting
Back to me
How did I let it keep me down so long?
’Cause I ain’t the kind of girl to get locked into a bad state of mind
Now there’s a brand new day inside me, and I’m reaching for the top
Miles and miles to go before I stop
Wake up, wake up
It’s time to start again
And I’m upwards and on
I’m ready to begin
I’ve left the past behind, I’m starting to feel free
And now I’m getting, getting, getting
Back to me
’Cause I’ve spent too many hours feeling shifty, shaky, cold in my soul
And I’m so tired of playing victim, acting sorry for myself
Whining ’bout the hand that I’ve been dealt
Wake up, wake up
It’s time to start again
And I’m upwards and on
I’m ready to begin
I’ve left the past behind, I’m starting to feel free
And now I’m getting, getting, getting
Back to me
How did I let it keep me down so long?
’Cause I ain’t the kind of girl to get locked into a bad state of mind
Now there’s a brand new day inside me, and I’m reaching for the top
Miles and miles to go before I stop
Wake up, wake up
It’s time to start again
And I’m upwards and on
I’m ready to begin
I’ve left the past behind, I’m starting to feel free
And now I’m getting, getting, getting
Back to me
