You say I know it's a waste
Of time there's no use trying
So scared that life's gonna
Pass you by your spirit dying
Not long ago I could feel
Your strength and your
Devotion what was so clear is
Now overcast with mixed
Emotions
Deep in your heart is the answer
Find it I know it will pull you
Through
Get on your feet get up and make
It happen get on your feet stand
Up and take some action
I think it's true that we've all
Been through some nasty weather
Let's understand that we're here
To handle things together
You gotta keep looking onto
Tomorrow there's so much in life
That's meant for you
Get on your feet get up and make
It happen get on your feet stand
Up and take some action
Get on your feet don't stop
Before it's over get on your
Feet the weight is off your
Shoulder
Get up and make it happen
Stand up [repeat x3]
And take some action gotta get
On your feet
Yeah [repeat x2]
Don't stop before it's over
Get on your feet the weight is
Off your shoulder get on your
Feet
Get up [repeat x3]
And make it happen get on your
Feet
Stand up [repeat x2]
And take some action get on
