Up Up Up Up Up Up Lyrics - Up Up Up Up Up Up - Ani Difranco

Up, up, up, up, up, up points the 

Spire of the steeple 

But God's work isn't done by God 

It's done by people 

Up, up, up, up, up, up points the 

Fingers of the trees 

The lumberjacks with their bloody axes 

Are on their knees 

And just when you think that you've got enough 

Enough grows 

And everywhere that you go in life 

Enough knows 

Up, up, up, up, up, up dances 

The steam from the sewer 

As she rounds the corner 

The brutal wind blows right through her 

Up, up, up, up, up, up raises 

The stakes of the game 

Each day sinks its bootprints into her clay 

And she's not the same 

And just when you think that you've got enough 

Enough grows 

And everywhere that you go in life 

Enough knows 

Half of learning how to play 

Is learning what not to play 

And she's learning the spaces she leaves 

Have their own things to say 

Then she's trying to sing just enough 

So that the air around her moves 

And make music like mercy 

That gives what it is and has nothing to prove 

She crawls out on a limb 

And begins to build her home 

And it's enough just to look around 

To know she's not alone 

Up, up, up, up, up, up points 

The spire of the steeple 

But God's work isn't done by God 

It's done by people
