Get up

Are you certain
What you saw is what you tell
'Cos it's sure is hot as hell
Is it true what they say
Then I must pass it on
'Cos we sure want everyone to know

Talk about it
I'm a patient listener
And I sure want to hear it all
Let it flow
I must pass it on
'Cos we sure want everyone to know

Get up
It's a bad night Dad
We can't see light of the moon
Get up
Can't we do it tomorrow
It's bad night, Dad
Can't you hear the rain on the window pain
Get up
Can't we do it tomorrow

You got to get it right
You've been doin' it all wrong
You got to get it right
You've been doin' it all wrong
Right
You've been doin' it all wrong

Time is thief
I live before I die
I don't want to hide away
Let it come
I will pass it on
'Cos we sure want everyone to know
I must pass it on
'Cos we sure want everyone to know

(God gives the cross, but the strength to carry it)

Get up
It's a long way Dad
and the night is black and the night is cold
Get up
Can't we do it tomorrow
It's a bad night, Dad
Can't you hear the rain on the window pain
Get up
Can't we do it tomorrow

You got to get it right
You've been doin' it all wrong
You got to get it right
You've been doin' it all wrong
Right
You've been doin' it all wrong
Right
You've been doin' it all
Right
You've been doin' it all
Right
You've been doin' it all
Right
You've been doin' it all
Right

Get up
Can't we do it tomorrow
