What if I told you I wasn't ready for this life
What if I told you this wasn't what I had in mind
What if this mountain's just too high
Get up get up
brush off the dust from your soul
Get up get up
the past is beyond your control
Get up get up
don't ever give up on love
What if I told you my whole world broke down last night
What if showed you my surprising ugly side
What if I've fallen out of line
What if I told you there was time when I believed
What if I told you I'm exploding with doubt I'm infected with weakness
I'm breaking the silence crying out, crying out
