Wake up, put your shoes on
Take a breath of the northern air
And rub those eyes
Genuflect beneath the starry skies
Before you climb the mountain
First the foothills must appear
Step high and light
And take up your staff and shining armor
(Chin up, chin up)
You don't really have a problem
(Chin up, chin up)
In your hour of despair
And smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
Smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
The stars on the horizon
Stretch as far as the eyes can see
They represent the souls of those like you and me
And smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
Smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
(Chin up, chin up)
You don't really have a problem
(Chin up, chin up)
In your hour of despair
And smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
Smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
