Yeah, yeah

We've been down too long
Gotta keep on liftin', liftin', liftin', liftin' you (Up)
(High, high, high, high, high)
You gotta keep on liftin', liftin', liftin', liftin' you (Up)
(High, high, high, high, high)

Gotta keep on liftin', liftin', liftin', liftin' you (Up)

It won't be long
Nothin' ever remains the same
