Pick Yourself Up

Dianne Reeves · Other Songs - Dianne Reeves

Nothing's impossible, I have found

For when my chin is on the ground

I pick myself up

Dust myself off

And start all over again



Don't lose your confidence

If you slip

Be grateful for a pleasant trip

And pick yourself up

Dust yourself off

And start all over again



Work like a soul inspired

Until the battle of the day is won

You may be sick and tired

But you'll be a man, my son



Will you remember the famous men

Who had to fall, to rise again

So take a deep breath

Picked yourself up

And start all over again



Work like a soul inspired

Till the battle of the day is won

You may be sick and tired

But you'll be a man, my son



Will you remember the famous men

Who had to fall, to rise again

So take a deep breath...

Pick yourself up...

And start all over again [Repeat: 2X]
