The Upside is the sixth track on Newsboys' thirteenth studio album, In the Hands of God. It has often been compared to a style similar to The Beatles.

Lyrics[]

It's been a long, long fall
with nothing to intervene.
when Gravity does its thing
we wonder what it's for.
Stuck in a cold dark basement
you surely expected more.
but all you can see these days
four walls and a floor
(Chorus)
Come up here,
We're making our way to the Upside
We're gonna stay on the Upside
We'll trade out troubles for a room with a view
Come up here,
We're making our way to the Upside
A brand new day on the Upside
The Future's brighter than a sky full of Blue


It's been a long, long fall
The Adam who would be king
When consequence does its thing
We all want it like before
Nowhere to go, laid low
Like a dumpster diver
Like a Submarine wreck
you're scraping the bottom deck,
Won't you, don't you
Pray there's something more?
(Chorus)
What's gonna hold us down
Who's gonna hold us down
How's it gonna hold us down
Nothin's gonna hold us...
Come up,
We'll make our way to the Upside
We're here to stay on the Upside
The Future's shining like a sky full of Blue
(continues right into the chorus)
