Lyrics

every muscle aching, day by day life takes its toll
sick and tired of breaking, just about to lose control
how the saints and sinners, lift you up and tear you down
everything they tell you, hits you up and spins you round

get up now dont give up
get up now dont give up
get up now dont give up
(just when you cant carry on)
havn't you had enough
get up now dont give up
get up now dont gve up

soulfull and defiant, burn with all the strength you need
lift you and inspire, take you where you want to be
rise up from the ashes, like a phoenix in the sky
you won't be beaten, won't lay down and die

get up now dont give up
get up now dont give up
get up now dont give up
(when you cant take anymore)
havn't you had enough
get up now dont give up
get up now dont give up
(just carry on)
get up now dont give up
get up now dont give up
(just have the strength to go on)
get up now dont give up

and through thick and thin
get up and start again
just what might have been
no use in worrying
have the strength to be
what you want to be
take a chance and be
what you want to be

(just carry on)
get up now dont give up
get up now dont give up
get up now dont give up
(when you cant take anymore)
havn't you had enough
get up now dont give up
get up now dont give up
(just carry on)
get up now dont give up
get up now dont give up
(just have the strength to go on)
get up now dont give up
