UP Lyrics
Didn’t have the best start
Felt like I was falling apart
Am I just a lost cause?
Tell me should I really give up?
I tried to give them my heart
But I never got that far
Couldn’t be the good guy
Even though I did try
Thought there was nowhere to go
Down lonely roads
But now I know
The only place I'm going is up
Only make room for love
Cuz My story’s far from over
It’s only begun
Imma throw it all away
Every last piece of your hate
And though my story’s far from over
I’ve already won
I’m goin up up up up up up up
I’m goin up up up up up up up
I’m goin up
I ain’t ever coming back down
You won’t ever catch me falling for
The lies that I could never be yeah
Thought there was nowhere to go
Down lonely roads
But now I know
The only place I’m going is up
Only make room for love
Cuz My story’s far from over
It’s only begun
Imma throw it all away
Every last piece of your hate
And though my story’s far from over
I’ve already won
I’m goin up up up up up up up
I’m goin up up up up up up up
I’m goin up
Didn’t have the best start
Felt like I was falling apart
Am I just a lost cause?
Tell me should I really give up?
David, if you ever read this, just know that many of us are just like you, experienced things similar to your life. And I’m so proud of you for coming out. I wish I had come out earlier when I was younger and I was always afraid to lose loved ones or be disowned. But I’ve come to terms with myself that I have to accept myself first. If those loved ones don’t accept you, they don’t deserve to be in your life. Coming out is never easy and being afraid of not being accepted is very tough. But, always remember that you only have one life to live and you deserve to be happy. We all deserve to be happy and be authentic to who we truly are. So be very proud of yourself. Live your best life and don’t live with regrets. Ever since I came out, I’ve never been happier. The ones that truly love you will be by your side no matter what. Stay true to yourself, always.
So proud of you being your true self. I know it's scarey, but you are never alone. You are loved every hour of every day by many you have never met. We're out here and God will always welcome you! ❤❤
Incredible, beautiful voice and lovely lyrics. As a person who was a member of the LDS Church for 18 years, I feel your pain. I had a baby out of wedlock and my family kicked me out. The church looked down on me and I no longer felt welcome. I'm so sorry David, you gave the church so much of your time, energy - and life. And this is how they treat you. Don't ever say sorry for being yourself. You are the Macaw, Stay true to your Colors. I've been your fan since the beginning. Know there are millions of people who love you and are rooting for you. You're an amazing singer and touch so many lives. I'm no longer a member of the Mormon church and I've never felt more free. believe you will be one of God's angels in heaven singing in his choir. There is no way you will go to hell for loving someone, it's impossible. The church got that part wrong. Looking forward to hearing more of your music! Can't wait.
I had a baby out of wedlock and was embraced by the Lord and His church. It has so much to do with how we feel about ourselves.
@deborahcasper6120 good for you? They did not embrace me.
PROTECT DAVID AT ALL COST! ❤
who is with me. let’s never let him slip away give our love in thumbnails UP
You Are Free David ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Be strong! :)
That voice. Still the clearest, purest voice. Fly, David, fly!
I don't watch The Masked Singer, but when I saw you were on the show, you SERIOUSLY won hands down. Your singing was remarkable. I only watched your clips.
Robbed twice.
I don't think he minds, though.
After following you since your American Idol days and seeing you interviews about what you went thru. Sing a member of LDS I feel more connected to you than ever. You are such an amazing man of God. You are such a true beacon of light for those struggling with how they were made. As a man who has hidden my true self for my entire life , I know the feelings you speak about going thru. Would love someday to meet you in real life to shake your hand and tell you how loved and respected you are. Your voice is so angelic and inspiring. Love you brother. Best of luck in finding true love you deserve and on your new music. Fly high David!
Your biggest fan
You truly are an Angel David, God has given you a talent to share and a heart full of Love. God is LOVE... You spread your beautiful wings and fly. I have only Love for you.
This video and song review: The struggle between being himself and trying to be accepted based off of what he was taught and what others expected. The dove with the rainbow colors signifying being at peace with who he is. And now flying free from all that was pulling him down. Allowed to rise and be free. Showing all his beautiful colors. "Going up"😢 💛
I think it’s the national bird of Honduras
@@jeff2012inthe1500 the macaw is
David I am so glad you are you. You have this incredible ability to share and connect with people. I hope you get to surround yourself with people who will appreciate this beautiful quality of yours. I can only feel sorry for those who do not appreciate you. Thank you for lighting up other people's world just by sharing.
Been a fan of yours since Idol and nothing will change that. You are a talented and incredible human being. Keep going UP UP UP!!
So glad you're still sharing your amazing voice with us, David 🙏🏼💛
SAME 🤍🤍🤍
No cabe duda gran evolución arreglo letra y la voz... Bueno... Pocos como tu felicidades David no pudiste escoger mejor profesion
I recently lost my great nephew to a horrible car accident. 💔😭. He was just 17, going to be 18 in September. He was a troubled child, struggled with fitting in, and was on lost roads. I found this song 🎵 just a little while ago, and I have shared it with my family members who feel this song fits personally. He is in heaven now, and he is safe now.
So very sorry for your loss. 🙏❤️
Thank you so much. Our hearts are shattered. 💔
escuchando esta maravillosa melodia en una etapa donde pareciera que esubiera contando esta etapa de aprendizaje de mi vida, MI HISTORIA LEJOS DE TERMINAR SOLO HA COMENZADO!!! bendiciones a todos los que les vibre esta cancion y que DIOS nos ayude a VIBRAR MUY ALTO!!!! BENDECIDO ME SIENTO!!!
Today is my 19th birthday and I'm leaving on a mission in a few weeks. Thank you, David, for the perfect birthday present 🎁 😊
Every few years since I discovered you, around 12 ago, I browsed if you had already broken free (I had the feeling, as I identified with your background in many ways). It made my day to find out you finally had. I hope it brings you all the peace and happiness in the world. I agree with the lyrics; now you can only go up.
David is awesome
I have been such a fan since American Idol and I am 70 years old. Keep up the great job David
"Where's the bridge?" Why does the song feel incomplete?" Could it be because David's story is far from over and he's making room for more? David said this song is essentially a prelude representing a PART of his journey. Once we hear the whole album, this chapter will be complete ❤.
You are correct!
I think that's exactly right!! I think it's supposed to feel that way
Can never get enough of this guy
Thank you for this inspiring song, as a recovering Pentecost this song truly resonates!
You could read the Sears Roebuck catalog as a song and I'd be happy. Your voice is a gift!!! Add to that the beautiful message in the song, and ...... then I'm speechless.
Thank you for hanging on through the hard times and finding peace in your value as YOU. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I love you man thanks for always being your true authentic self. I bless you and may God bless you as well.
This song is about my past and will be future, what can i say i'm only human
Lovely song and a beautiful visual representation of your story and triumph. Your LGBTQ fans love you and hoped for this day for so many years. We know the struggle you've been through as so many of us went through it ourselves and still are. You're giving voice to the voiceless with this, please know that. Much love to you and yours.
The more I listen to this, the more it haunts me making me feel things I can’t explain. 😭❤️
Haunting. Definitely a message of moving forward but you don’t sugar coat where you’ve been, and what you’ve faced. During the chorus I feel like you are climbing step by step out of a hole with every UP, UP, UP, UP, UP. Love the arrangement too - clean & simple. Thanks for posting this lyrics in this uplifting video. Bravo David and team!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
David, you are such a special man! I was instantly a fan when I heard your first song. You are brave and God does not make mistakes. I'm proud and thankful you have new content. "UP" reveals such a beautiful and heartfelt message. ❤
As Nicole said, you’re a gift from Heaven, David Archuleta! Have loved your voice and been grateful to you since Idol. Watched all of your recent Macaw performances (plus your videos) mult. times with joy. This song, SO beautiful and pure. Thank you for being who you are and sharing your gift, such a tremendous blessing. 🎉❤🎉❤
Awesome song David. I have been a fan since American Idol. I feel your struggles in the song, Keep strong and keep moving forward. Don't let people tell you that God does not love you for being who are. If I would have had the courage taht you had to come out when I was your age maybe my life would have been different. May God bless you and continue make great music and keep moving forward.
Damn, this is such a touching Song David A.! My son, Josh, has a similar story to yours and this song now has a special place in my heart and my son a special place in mine. Thanks.
In love with the song❤️🔥❤.. The lyrics slaps, period..💙

The most beautiful brilliant song I have heard in a long time.
Passing here to give a like, share and support! Your biggest fan from Nicaragua. Keep going up, up 🙌
Another great song from my favorite singer in the world! (: I dance to David's songs every day (Movin', Okay Alright, Up All Night, Faith In Me and Postcards in the Sky are the ones I dance to - watching me try to do the same dance moves is a sight to see!). His pretty ballads like this one are a joy to listen to and I so appreciate everything about my "crush"! (:
This looks like a play on the character you were on The Masked Singer. Love the song and wish you more success in life. 💪🥰
This song hits me in the feels. Totally can relate especially being LDS and gay.
Such a good song!
*I really love this song 🥺*
It’s a touching and beautiful song... Love from Lima, Peru! 🇵🇪

Love you, David and your wonderful journey. Brave and strong, yet very humble! Love love love from the Philippines!!!
Thank you David for this beautifully tragic song. It resonates so well with me, my struggles with myself, my faith and my father. And how I need to remind myself to throw away his hatered of who I am.
I appreciate your vulnerability in this song and sharing it with us. I hope you are in a place of love today.
I love the message you are spreading David, you are a light
🇩🇪 Congratulations! David, your songs helps me through some of my lonely roads in life. Thank you, David! I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ in Germany. I'm so sorry for your struggle.

I wish you want to break free in future and going on - and ever up. I can hear the light in your heart.

I just found this song because of your Insta story and...I can't stop bawling. David. You have such a beautiful soul. This song is heartwrenchingly raw and real and so necessary... there really are no words to convey the beauty of what you have created here. I carry so much respect and love for you even though we've never met❤❤❤
Love this! I’m sorry you’ve been so hurt! 🙏❤️

We love you David. Love from 🇵🇭
Beautiful voice, and message. I hope anyone with a similar story to his hears this.
I love this song
You should consider an album of covers: Home from The Wiz, Bring him Home, I Dreamed a Dream, Corner of the Sky, Not While I'm Around, I'm Always Chasing Rainbows, and so many more Broadway, Standards, 70's songs, classics, etc. to choose from.
If anyone is curious about the chords; I figured them out cause once I heard David’s new amazing song I knew I had to try to play it! The chords are Em C G D 😊 Thank you David for continuing to make amazing music that lifts my soul Up! 😄✨🎶
Up🙌🏼
Thank you for not giving up David. We love you.
Beautiful!❤
Felicidades David. Saludos gran abrazo para ti, que dones y talentos
David's song "up" is a prediction of Rusty's new slogan "think celestial". David for prophet! 😊
❤😢 Hugs
Same here I love his songs
