[Verse 1]
If you're tired of arguing
With strangers on the internet
The internet
Try talking with one of them in real life (in real life)
On farms, on factory floors
You made me a better president
So it's my turn to say thanks
Tonight, tonight
[Chorus]
Time and again
You've picked me up
And I hope sometimes
I picked you up too
I hope I picked you up too
Even when the odds were great
The road is long
You fueled my faith that America is strong
Who picked me up?
It's been you
It's been you
[Verse 2]
We got bin Laden
We got equal marriage
We doubled our clean energy
We got health care-age
We brought more of our troops home
Put policies in place to help students with loans
We strive together
You were the change
Because of you we achieved greater
Last time I was this high I was tryna decide on my major
[Chorus]
Time and again
You've picked me up
And I hope sometimes
I picked you up too
I hope I picked you up too
Even when the odds were great
The road is long
You fueled my faith that America is strong
Who picked me up?
It's been you
It's been you
[Refrain]
My fellow Americans
You made me a better man
If something needs fixing
Then lace up your shoes
That's what our democracy demands
That's why I Ieave this stage tonight
Even more optimistic
I've seen you fight
Who picked me up?
It's been you
It's been you
[Bridge]
Michelle, you have been my best friend
Joe Biden, my best decision
Malia and Sasha, amazing young women
And to all of you out there
[Chorus]
Time and again
You've picked me up
And I hope sometimes
I picked you up too
I hope I picked you up too
Even when the odds were great
The road is long
You fueled my faith that America is strong
Who picked me up?
It's been you
It's been you
[Refrain]
My fellow Americans
You made me a better man
If something needs fixing
Then lace up your shoes
That's what our democracy demands
That's why I Ieave this stage tonight
Even more optimistic
I've seen you fight
Who picked me up?
It's been you
It's been you
