It's All Uphill
They told her down on easy street she could have it made
They said girl you got potential to be someone with some change
You could walk the walk if you let us groom you for the part
She said if that's what you call easy well I'll just keep my heart
(Chorus)
If she's gonna fall she don't need no help
Looking back she's come a long way by just believing in herself
She could have had some free rides but refused to grease the wheel
They may put her down for the road she takes but at least it's all uphill
As she makes her way through the concrete maze past the losers and the lost
The weirdos and the winos and all the rebels with a cause
She stops to smile at a violin through a pawn shop window pane
Cause what she sees past its broken strings is the heart no one can change
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
She'll never pay the price they ask to be somebody's fool
For a rainbow that she knows will pass and leave nothing but the blues
(Repeat Chorus)
