Get Up And Live
Wake up get up the sun is rising in the eastern skies
Time you understand the message and open up your eyes
They’ve muddied the rivers and they polluted the skies
In the caverns of your mind so they planted their lies
Get up and live you only get one chance
Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance
Get up and live life is a gift of grace
Get up and live make the world a better place
We are on a journey we’re the people of one nation
In service to your brethren is the glory of salvation
So you were born in poverty and baptized in sorrow
That was yesterday my friend you still got tomorrow
Get up and live you only get one chance
Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance
Get up and live life is a gift of grace
Get up and live make the world a better place
Some men they were born to sing the blues
And some men they walk the Earth with no shoes
And some men live in palaces grand
But all men are equal do you understand?
For God He is the creator of us all
And in His sight there is no great or small
The philosophy of equality is not a radical notion
Hand in hand sharing all we set the future in motion
You are a stone in God’s temple a wonderful thing
You have reasons to rejoice you have reasons to sing
Get up and live you only get one chance
Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance
Get up and live life is a gift of grace
Get up and live make the world a better place
Won’t you walk with me as I go down the narrow and straight?
I promise you love I have forsaken the ways of hate
Look in the mirror my friend tell me what do you see
I see the secret in your eyes I see humanity
Get up and live you only get one chance
Get up and live ask
your sweetheart to dance
Get up and live life is a gift of grace
Get up and live make
the world a better place
