Up Against I - Peter Stone Brown

    All the walls crumbled and all the dreams died
    I was forced to stop and take a good look inside
    They told me I was up against it

    On my way home, I took an unexpected rest
    I wound up being put to the ultimate test
    They told me I was up against it

    What once seemed important doesn't mean a thing
    Gotta find the time to stop and hear the church bells when they ring
    Won't be long before I hear the angels sing
    They told me I was up against it

    Runnin' in the valley in the shadow of death
    Gotta remember to stop and catch my breath
    They told me I'm up against it

    In that lonesome valley that you must walk by yourself
    There's only one way to ask for help
    They told me I'm up against it

    Daily trials and troubles must be put to rest
    Want every minute to be my best
    Keep this heart beatin' in my chest
    They told me I'm up against it

    Should've heard the warnin', but I guess I didn't hear
    Now I'm face to face with my worst fear
    They told me I'm up against it

    Thought I could make it on my own
    Now I know what it means to really be alone
    They told me I'm up against it

    Things that drive me crazy
    Will just have to go
    All the manmade problems, I don't wanna know
    I'm goin' out fast, I'm goin' down slow
    They told me I'm up against it
