I guess you can stay down in that pit if you want to But I'm ready to start crawlin' out of mine I know it's easy to get comfortable here Seems like everybody's gotta do a little time But one of these day's you're gonna lift up your head Stop your daily conversations with your pain No more long lunches with that pitiful you You're gonna set your eyes on Jesus again CHORUS: Come on, climb on up here with me You can do it, yes you can Come on, climb on up here with me Higher ground, promised land I know with a word He could make everything right He could wipe all the clouds from the sky He could hold out His hand and bring peace to the sea He could even dry every tear from your eyes But you know these arms go weak If they don't push and pull and struggle With the body, with the mind, and the soul Maybe God's plan to get this rock off my back Is to help me pull some brother, some brother from the hole And tell him to CHORUS
