I know how it feels to need some stability To try to keep in time by mind on ability Both feet on the ground and no tempo to take This awkward pace could take an infinity But there's a new kick, a dance in my feet A syncopated motion in me I'm on the upbeat, faith in my step My center of focus is set I'm on the upbeat with aim in my shoes As long as I am walking with You I'm on the upbeat, perpetual sound What goes up is gonna come down On the upbeat, the rhythm I like You're the metronome in my life It's as if You've recycled my energy From meaningless and vague to validity You're the beat I feel inside my heart Ticking away in spiritual harmony I feel a new jump, a bang in my drum A love in steady repetition I'm on the upbeat, faith in my step My center of focus is set I'm on the upbeat with aim in my shoes As long as I am walking with You I'm on the upbeat, perpetual sound What goes up is gonna come down On the upbeat, the rhythm I like You're the metronome in my life Pound, pound, a beat above Round and round in a round of love Pray, pray in all I do Day in, day out, eyes on You I'm on the upbeat, faith in my step My center of focus is set I'm on the upbeat with aim in my shoes As long as I am walking with You I'm on the upbeat, perpetual sound What goes up is gonna come down On the upbeat, the rhythm I like You're the metronome in my life I'm on the upbeat, faith in my step My center of focus is set I'm on the upbeat with aim in my shoes As long as I am walking with You I'm on the upbeat, perpetual sound What goes up is gonna come down On the upbeat, the rhythm I like You're the metronome in my life
