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)
