“Five-Nine” by Alec Delphenich (2005)

Sometimes I don’t know where I stand
I can never make up my mind
And when my world turns upside down and ruins what I’ve planned
I’ll run and hide in the first thought that I can find

Five feet and nine inches, where my head is at
My arms: in infinite reach
One foot in front of the other, hope I can remember that
I’m only as good as the lessons I teach

But I won’t let up and I won’t look down
Not now

I might not have the highest hope or the sweetest soul
But I make up for it in love
And I’m always searching for the brighter side to let myself feel whole
It just depends on what I’m thinking of

Still I won’t let up and I won’t look down
Not now

I might not always know what my next move in life will be
But I am sure that whatever I do I will be alright
Things have a way of just
Working themselves out like that

I don’t know what I’m going to do
I think that when I find out I will let myself know
I don’t care about any of those things
They are my problems and only mine to bear

I won’t let up, I won’t look down
Not now
