Up and Down

Up and down I go
On a rollercoaster ride
And when I'm really down
It's the hurt I've got to hide
Feelings get control of me
And lead me all around
And I can't put my feet upon
A piece of solid ground

Up and down I go
On a never-ending road
I always feel so good
When I've got that lighter load
But something turns me all around
And puts me in a spin
I think I know just what it is
I think they call it "sin"

Up and down, up and down
Why can't I plant my feet?
I've been drinking the milk of the Word
Not feasting on the meat
Well, I don't want to go up and down
And be swayed so easily
Show me, Lord, You've got the remedy

Up and down I go
Will it ever stop?
Will all my life bе just concerned
With climbing to the top?
Or will I always finish last
At thе bottom of the heap?
Will the mountains loom much higher?
Will the valleys be this deep?

Well, whether I'm up or whether I'm down
He's given me a place
To plant my feet, He gives me strength
In anything I face
Well, I've been up and I've been down
And I've learned just what it means
To follow Him, it's got to be
The best road that I've seen

Up and down, up and down
Why can't I plant my feet?
I've been drinking the milk of the Word
Not feasting on the meat
Well, I don't want to go up and down
And be swayed so easily
Show me, Lord, You've got the remedy
Mm-hmm, You've got the remedy
