Do you remember how we used to say Nothing could ever stand in our way Well it's no use pretending things are still the same 'Cause we're no longer ahead of the game Well I've already gone through it all and it's true If you want to survive there's just one thing to do Chorus: Get up! and do something Get up! and take control of your life Get up! and do something about it Don't ever make the same mistake twice Just like a flyer high above the ground I'm on a tightrope, afraid to look down Well I'm almost approaching the point of no return Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever learn Well I've already said that you ought to be proud Listen, talking is cheap oh but action speaks loud (Chorus) All of this time you've been learning to crawl When you're down on your knees you've got nowhere to fall Get up!
