about

Tells a story about life at your lowest point with a need for inspiration and motivation to lift yourself out of the depths of your depression or anger and 'Reach Up".

lyrics

No sense in saving for a rainy day if every day it pours
You gotta pause and savour the flavour of the wet concrete under your feet
Hellstorm sleep, can't afford to conform or go to sleep
Stay awake to the ways of the world, don't be a sheep

It would be easy to turn a blind eye at state affairs or get revenge
An eye for an eye and we all go blind in the end
Be the eye of the storm, transform the norm and be where you're born to be
Recognise the deity in yourself and others

Real recognise real and you don't look familiar, brother
The world's a cage, you meet two animals on the stage
And life keeps to the gate, come with a silver spoon of something you create
Unlock the code and hack into the power of a thousand old souls

Reach up, reach up, reach up to the sky
Hold your head high, it's life or living death
We gotta try to live our best
Until the time comes around, we cannot rest

Reach up, reach up, reach up to the sky
Hold your head high, it's life or living death
We gotta try to live our best
Until the time comes around, we cannot rest

We live for the dead and unborn
We're all chosen sons and daughters
Uninformed of the greatness within
We've been given gifts and talents

That we squander and wonder how it got like this
Living with the essence, circadian rhythms
Your guardian angel, honour your light
And give them birthright, it's worth the fight

Enhance and dance with nature's earthly delights
Do more than survive, we're not making it out alive
So take what's useful and put it into practice
Don't settle for less, have higher expectations

For yourself and those around you
Toxic inhaling, nobody prevailing
Nobody helping, people just complaining
Disease rising, adapt and learn to serve

Don't get caught in a net and entangled where we weave
Reach up, reach up, reach up to the sky
Hold your head high, it's life or living death
We gotta try to live our best
Until the time comes around, we cannot rest

Reach up, reach up, reach up to the sky
Hold your head high, it's life or living death
We gotta try to live our best
Until the time comes around

No sense in saving for a rainy day
Unless you're insane enough to stay
Then make haste and waste every day
Looking at the flowers, petals and powers

Wash away the tears with the showers
While away the hours
Cause there's infinity in every moment
Change at this stage ain't strange

It what makes this all possible
This convincing interface we call reality
Embrace the trickster and the uncertainty of will
Master the monster and execute skill

Love life to your fill
Even if it doesn't match up
Kill your dreams of making them real
Some still take the pill but do what you feel

Change the world by mass appeal
Only to reveal this ain't real
So it must be a dream
And I'ma roll my boat

Gently up the stream
Reach up, reach up, reach up to the sky
Hold your head high, it's life or living death
We gotta try to live our best
Until the time comes around, we cannot rest

Reach up, reach up, reach up to the sky
Hold your head high, it's life or living death
We gotta try to live our best
Until the time comes around, we cannot rest

Reach up, reach up, reach up to the sky
Hold your head high, it's life or living death
We gotta try to live our best
Until the time comes around, we cannot rest
