"Keep Getting Up" lyrics - MANDISA

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get it right the first time?
But that's not how it goes for most
Change seems like it takes a lifetime
But He is patient with us, and He invites us to trust
And hold onto hope (Hold onto hope), never let go
His love will always meet us there

[Chorus:]
When we get knocked down one more time
We swing hard, but lose the fight
Don't forget that the battle's won
When we keep gettin' up, keep gettin' up (Ooh, ooh)

Wouldn't it be great if when we fall we didn't stay down so long?
Or get caught up in the past, keeping track of all the times it went wrong
What if we remembered we are loved and we believed that it's enough?
To inspire us (Inspire us), light a fire in us to get up and try again

[Chorus:]
When we get knocked down one more time
We swing hard, but lose the fight
Don't forget that the battle's won
When we keep gettin' up, keep gettin' up
So we keep gettin' up, keep gettin' up

[Bridge:]
It's not gravity that tethers us to the ground
What if it's only doubt? Then we can somehow shut it out
Get mad and shout, "I won't stay down"

[Chorus:]
When we get knocked down one more time
We swing hard, but lose the fight
Don't forget that the battle's won
When we keep gettin' up, keep gettin' up
So we keep gettin' up, keep gettin' up
Keep gettin' up

[Outro:]
Lift your eyes, you are not alone
So keep gettin' up
Keep gettin' up
