Barry Manilow - It's A Long Way Up Lyrics






Once you find what matters in your life
Keep on pushing through the darkness
Till you see the light
You're gonna find it
You're no longer behind it
Once you learn what you've been doin' wrong
You can make the change
You need to make the carry on
Now and forever
The sooner the better, just remember now....

[Chorus:]
It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere

You gotta fight a little harder
You gotta push a little more
You gotta gamble everything you got
To get you through the door
'cause it's a long way up
You've been down before that's okay
You can rest assured
That every dog will have his day
And life is a jungle
But you ain't gonna crumble, remember now...

[Chorus]

Don't give up the dream
Hey don't you know it's dark before the dawn
When you think you just can't take it
That's when you'll make it
You gotta to fight a little harder
You gotta push a little more
You gotta gamble everything you got
To get you through the door
'cause it's a long way up
You gotta to fight a little harder
You gotta push a little more
You gotta gamble everything you got
To get you through the door

  1. A.... B....

    Yes he was very good looking back then...BUT he is still so great today in 2019 wow🎹🇬🇧🌈

  2. R.... Y....

    Amazing💕

  3. H.... W....

    Mi padre wrote the piano parts

    H.... W....

  4. L.... T....

    God he was gorgeous back then xx

    L.... T....

    And now...

    L.... T....

    @Teresa Andrade I'm humiliated to have his music (and voice) so intertwined - "Magic" was a classical lifeline in a very hostile world. Now I face endless castigation for being a "stupid fool" and not seeing through the carefully crafted prevarication. From what I can see, once Vegas beckoned, "Liberace" awakened & it's very difficult.

    L.... T....

    @K L And this castigation based on the prevarication is the root cause of your humiliation?
    I thought he was a good singer and song writer and composer and nice person, but what do I know.....

  5. C.... G....

    One of his best tours.

  6. C.... P....

    best concert ever...nothing has topped it since...not even the Vegas concerts

    C.... P....

    I agree that it was one of the best concerts Barry ever done.

    C.... P....

    Agreed! Oh yes. I love him so much.

    C.... P....

    I agree............saw this live twice. Also "The Greatest Hits (and then some) tour was really good also. Does anyone know what ever happened to Billy Kidd? It's been decades I know but I've always wondered about him and where he went after leaving Barry's tour....He was SOOOOO cute!

  7. E.... ....

    Wonderful

  8. R.... H....

    Great lyrics to never give up even if raised in poverty as Manilow was in Brooklyn. As for the jacket Barry, did you leave the coat hanger in ?

  9. L.... B....

    Fabulous song, thank you a lot for sharing .

  10. A.... Y....

    Always thought that this was a very inspirational song from Barry...
