"Keeping the thumb up" (Remix) based on book on Amazon

Verse 1 Shadows fall across the page, Quiet thoughts locked in a cage. World is heavy, road is long, Wondering if I still belong. Checked the mirror, took a glance, Decided I would take the chance. Chorus So keep the thumb up, reach the light, Turn the darkness into bright. Through the static, through the pain, Sunshine's coming through the rain. Lift your hand and show the sign, Step in line and feel just fine. Verse 2 Wrote the diary, turned the page, Stepping right out of the cage. Words are power, words are true, , writing life anew. Every stumble, every test, Proves that you can do your best. Bridge When they look and try to doubt, That is what the growth's about. Give a nod and clear the view, The strength was always inside you. Chorus Keep the thumb up, reach the light, Turn the darkness into bright. Through the static, through the pain, Sunshine's coming through the rain. Lift your hand and show the sign, Step in line and feel just fine. Outro Keep it high, Touch the sky. Thumb up. Keep it high.
