Everything is changing, too fast
Live for the moment, tryin' to make it last
Day by day, step after step, that's all
Everybody's asking where I've been
What did you bring back, tell us everything
Right and wrong, night and day, that's all
Take your time, from the ground up

From the ground up, that's all

My grandpa, the Captain, sailed the seven seas
He says life's an ocean, simple and deep
Don't be afraid, you do what you can, that's all
Life is here, life is now, that's all

Trying to do a good thing, nobody knows
Why our feelings can hurt us so
Piece by piece, beat after beat, that's all
Take your time, build from the ground up, that's all

From the ground up, that's all
