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.
