The Upside

The Upside is the sixth track on Newsboys' thirteenth studio album, In the Hands of God.

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)
