Journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
And every time you think you can't you just got to forget
The marching of a thousands troops across the desert sand
Mmh, they kept their faith and they stuck to their plan
And every time that you wanna say oh no
You gotta be careful not let it show
'Cause you gotta have faith and soul
And every time you wanna scream out no
Throw it away and just let it go
'Cause you gotta have faith and soul
When you're swimming upstream
Then you gotta believe
Keep your head above water
Water
When you're swimming upstream
Then you gotta just see
Keep your head above water
Water
If you've got a dream then you have got to keep in mind
Things that are lost can almost always be found
There's a do and there's a don't but at least you gotta try
If you don't succeed, well at least then you'll know why
And every time that you wanna say oh no
You gotta be careful not let it show
'Cause you gotta have faith and soul
And every time you wanna scream out no
Throw it away and just let it go
'Cause you gotta have faith and soul
When you're swimming upstream
Then you gotta believe
Keep your head above water
Water
When you're swimming upstream
Then you gotta just see
Keep your head above water
Water
Do what you want to
Settle down if you have to
But just remember to always do what you gotta do
'Cause things won't always
Be what you planned
So keep your head high
Above the water line
When you're swimming upstream
Then you gotta believe
Keep your head above water
Water
When you're swimming upstream
Then you gotta just see
Keep your head above water
Water.
