about

This song is about the impact of losing a friend had upon me. It changed my outlook on life as it can be taken away at any point. I wanted to take something sad and turn it into something positive.

lyrics

He had a get-up and go
But he got up and went
I didn't know his birthday
But I felt it when he left

There is always sunshine
Behind the clouds
You gotta look up not down

Up not down
Regrets are foolish now
Up not down
Sun's behind the clouds

Shook me up, shook me down
Made me look around
Changes had to be made
before time ran out

There is always sunshine
Behind the clouds
You gotta look up not down

Up not down
Regrets are foolish now
Up not down
Sun's behind the clouds
Up not down
Up not down
Up not down
Up not down
