Offer It Up

I need a couple more minutes to explain the way
How I feel today
But whose to say that you'd care anyway?
It's hard to sympathize and read between the lines of another's eyes
Sometimes you gotta compromise, hey
Accept the things we can't change
We love the good but with no bad we can't
appreciate the blessings of our day to day
And I'll be tired when I see you 'cause I'm working late
But I'm certain you'll have all the words to put a smile on my face
Is it building you up?
Or is it dragging you down, down, down
You could offer it up
Until some better days all come around

Is it building you up?
Or is it dragging you down, down, down
You could offer it up
Until some better days all come around

Let me show my appreciation, for days as hard as they come
Another year around the sun, another journey's begun
I don't want to take the easy way out, that's not the life I'm about
You take your lumps with their discomfort, it's encouraging how
A flower grows from the dirt, a power grows from your hurt
And therein endless possibilities to put it to work
You'll find your balance for sure, however it may occur

Is it building you up?
Or is it dragging you down, down, down
You could offer it up
Until some better days all come around

Is it building you up?
Or is it dragging you down, down, down
You could offer it up
Until some better days all come
