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
