upstream by songbird and Briøra songbird 2026© [opening verse, intro-songbird] [spoken line] Help me swim, upstream. (up, up, up, up–) [beat drop] [verse -songbird] I wanna follow the crowds Pushed by the current Never moving out of line It’s so easy- I wanna talk back Complain and whine About any and everything i want I want to tease, laugh, and taunt [pre-chorus-songbird] But that’s not what i’m called to. No way (way, ay, ay) So Lord, [chorus-songbird] I need you to guide me Find me Where i may be hiding. Help me fight the rush Swim upstream (up, up) Swim upstream Be your image-bearer [verse 2-rap, Briøra] Lord, I follow the people that I know are gonna let me down… I copy their words, their acts, their grounds I get taken advantage of, but I still follow their ways Lord, give me the strength to come to you [Verse 3-songbird] I know it’s wrong, but unfortunately that never seems to matter I could stop, or I could follow the crowd I guess I always choose the latter. [Pre-chorus-songbird, and Briøra] But that’s not what i’m called to. No way (way, ay, ay) [Briøra] I see their lies like it’s the beauty I see their words as something real God, I stray from your path And yet you still lead me back [Beat drop] [soft record scratch] [chorus, Briøra & songbird] So Lord, help me fight the rush Swim fast and strong Flow through me Help me swim upstream [echo- rap] Swim upstream, upstream Help me swim upstream oh ohhh [echo] Oh ohhh [Briøra] I still hold on when they let go You cushion the fall and bring me back ( I know ) And even when I let you down And run away You still come back and save the day [bridge/outro-songbird] So i’m not going to let go of your hand Help me, Father I’m going to follow you So Lord, help me fight the rush Swim fast and strong Flow through me Help me swim upstream [echo- rap] Swim upstream, upstream Help me swim upstream oh ohhh [echo] Oh ohhh [fade out]
