Upward Dog

Sunlight peeking through a hole in the clouds The sign on the tree house says "No Girls Allowed" Everything seems as it should be And yet there's something wrong It's not all that it could be For a would-be upward dog One night it occurred to me in my bed All these doubts and uncertainties They're all in your head Trying break this downward spiral You wake up in a fog Your mistakes are going viral But turn your smile upward dog Upward dog Always taking the high road Ridding your mind of these jaded disciples Picking the world up by the scruff of the neck Spending every day like it was a blank cheque Go get 'em upward dog Sunlight breaking through a cloud in my mind The sign on the dollhouse reads "No Boys Inside" Everybody's up and at 'em Or else they're sawing logs If you can't join 'em beat 'em Go get 'em upward dog Upward dog Never taking the low road Ridding your mind of these train-hopping hobos Picking the world up by the scruff of the neck Not wasting every day like it's all a stacked deck Love beckons upward dog Everybody's up and at 'em Or else they're sawing logs If you can't join 'em beat 'em Go get 'em upward dog Upward dog Always taking the high road Ridding your mind of these jaded disciples Picking the world up by the scruff of the neck And not facing everyday like it was a train wreck Go get 'em upward dog --- Upward Dog - Ron s*xsmith
