about

A sequel to the previous song ("Bend the Arc"), the metaphorical language of "Up to You" recognizes that the activists of the Sixties & Seventies are dying off, but we know that the ongoing fight for justice will pass into good hands with today's young people.

lyrics

UP TO YOU
by Richard Horton © Hortones, BMI

Everyday finally ends
(See the night, its shadows bend)
The new day begins again
(We see exactly when)
You might say it’s not your problem
But we know that’s not true, and I’ll—

Leave (it to you)
It up to you (I will leave)
The new day—up to you

All chapters come to an end
(The story still extends)
New ones start the story again
(Re-boot and re-send)
I could regret that it’s over
Regrettable but true, but I’ll—

Leave (it to you)
It up to you (I will leave)
This book to read — up to you

Day follows night
And night follows day
Now, it’s up to you

All good songs come to an end
(Love to sing them with my friends)
Sing them so the voices blend
(New songs being again)
I’ve heard you wrote a new song
You sing so sweet and true, and I’ll—

Leave (it to you)
It up to you (I will leave)
Your new song — up to you
