The title of this song is not unique but it was inspired by the phrase being sung by Gian DiMauro as we were moving Meryl to Centerport, NY. It just stuck.

lyrics

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP

Drop kick a little lower
Sometimes actions can't be mended in your sleep
And you're not the kid you used to be
Get a little older
The reflection on your stain glass is complete
Now dispense those painful memories

I know, this game plan last forever
No more holdin' out
What it's all about
Is to break new ground and sing out loud

Things are looking up
(When I see those comets falling)
Things are looking up
(When I hear those nations stand together)
Things are looking up
(When I feel a past life calling)
Things are looking up
(When I'm touched by moments of connections)

Bite down a little harder
There's a candy coated karma screaming through
All the garbage you've been fed for years
Jump start another lover
For a six pack of affection in your hand
Is the driving force behind your fears

Well, we know this game plan last forever
No more holdin' out -
What it's all about
Is to break new ground and sing out loud

Things are looking up
(When I see those comets falling)
Things are looking up
(When I hear those nations stand together)
Things are looking up
(When I feel a past life calling)
Things are looking up
(When I'm touched by moments of connections)

Things are looking up
Things are looking up
Things are looking up
Things are looking up

Things are looking up
(When I see those comets falling)
Things are looking up
(When I hear those nations stand together)
Things are looking up
(When I feel a past life calling)
Things are looking up
(When I'm touched by moments of connections)
