up, up, up, can only go up from here....

i am sitting in the classroom where we learn about paul's letters,
and our teacher gave our tests back, i am very scared to see it.
as he comes my way i notice other people sighing softly, and i finally get my paper and i turn it to the front.

doo doo do dah...doo doo do dah...doo doo do dah do dah do dah....
doo doo do dah...doo doo do dah...

as i look at all the red marks i begin to feel my heart beat,
it is faster, growing faster, and i start to feel the tears come,
but i turn the paper over and i look at all the added points and after the division i realize i got a 'c.'

doo doo do dah...doo doo do dah...doo doo do dah do dah do dah....
doo doo do dah...doo doo do dah...

although a 'c' is not that great i'm smiling very broadly,
since the average grade in the class is usually below that.
and compared to last test's grade i have improved by 20 points and so i'm very very happy and instead i praise the Lord.

doo doo do dah...doo doo do dah...doo doo do dah do dah do dah....
doo doo do dah...doo doo do dah...
