Ups and Downs
Riding Life's Waves: A Journey of Faith with Rhodes Elsewhere
Lyrics
I know you probably feel like you are lost at sea
Feeling adrift, lost, or directionless
And your heart is broken for eternity
Experiencing enduring heartbreak
You have been so broken living in debris
Feeling shattered amidst chaos and ruin
You've already been chosen, child, just believe
Encouragement to believe in being chosen or valued
If you're thriving in the mountains
Prospering in highs or successes
Or surviving in the valleys
Surviving challenges or difficult times
Just dive in the fountain
Finding rejuvenation or renewal
This is not your finale
Life is ongoing, not the end
You're just getting started
Life's journey is just beginning
Meant to fly in the starship
Destined for greater things
Life is sticky like a tar pit
Life's challenges can be sticky and tough
You gotta trust in the artist
Trust in the creator of life
I've been north, I've been south
Expressing experiencing various aspects of life, its dualities, and the reliance on faith to overcome
I've been east and west
-I've been good, I've been bad
-I've been cursed and blessed
-Waking up, feeling down
-Got left when right
-I'll make it through these ups and downs with Christ
-I've been sick, I've been well,
-I've had grief and joy
-So many things that have happened to ya boy
-When life gets hard
-And we can't trust sight
-We'll make it through these ups and downs with Christ
-You gotta ride life's waves like Johnny Tsunami
Metaphorical references to handling life's challenges and finding sustenance in faith
Always squashing any beef, all you need is salami
-Life will probably put you in a pickle like Tommy
-You can always drink from the living water, Dasani
-Yeah
-People only wanna hear good news, Mac Miller
-Wasting time with these fake people, Ben Stiller
-Everything got a reason, none of this is filler
-There is always a butterfly in every catterpillar
-When you're thriving in the mountains
Encouragement to listen to guidance, find solace, and have faith for a better outcome
Or surviving in the valleys
-Just dive in the fountain
-This is not your finale
-Just listen to what Jesus say
-Hold on, I'm coming home, no Drake
-So whatever way you going today
-I promise that it's going to be okay
-I've been north, I've been south
Reiteration of experiencing life's various facets and reliance on faith to endure
I've been east and west
-I've been good, I've been bad
-I've been cursed and blessed
-Waking up, feeling down
-Got left when right
-I'll make it through these ups and downs with Christ
-I've been sick, I've been well,
-I've had grief and joy
-So many things that have happened to ya boy
-When life gets hard
-And we can't trust sight
-We'll make it through these ups and downs with Christ
-When you don't know where you're going
Emphasizing faith in challenging times, finding hope in faith's comfort
(If you're thriving in the mountains)
-When this life gets extra lonely
-(Or surviving in the valleys)
-When I feel like no one knows me
-(Mountains)
-I've hope in my soul knowing Jesus
-Chose me
-I've been north, I've been south
Reiteration of life's experiences and reliance on faith for perseverance
I've been east and west
-I've been good, I've been bad
-I've been cursed and blessed
-Waking up, feeling down
-Got left when right
-I'll make it through these ups and downs with Christ
-I've been sick, I've been well,
-I've had grief and joy
-So many things that have happened to ya boy
-When life gets hard
-And we can't trust sight
-We'll make it through these ups and downs with Christ
-If you're thriving in the mountains
Reaffirmation of finding rejuvenation and hope in faith during life's highs and lows
Or surviving in the valleys
-Just dive in the fountain
-This is not your finale
