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!
