Get Up!

There’s a murmur inside that I dispel
On the sunny side of suffering, a miniature hell
Now you’re gonna die, so am I
Yet all we seem to do is just apologise so
Carry on with the caterwaul
Acting like we think we know it all
We ain’t no marionettes
Don’t you remember how we met?
I want it big and blue
I want it short and sweet
Make me believe (make me believe)
Can we be free?
Who do you think you are?
You’re neither here nor afar
Taking our chances
I want to swim in the clouds, dive straight into the ground
Get up and climb then dive and try to fly again
Swing low, let my people go
Introduce a little vertigo
A little less reality on those screens
Take a step out your door and flood the streets
There’s so much left for me here
Than a squalid life of fear
There’s so much left for me here than fear
I want it big and blue
I want it short and sweet
Make me believe (make me believe)
Can we be free?
Who do you think you are?
You’re neither here nor afar
Taking our chances
I want to swim in the clouds, dive straight into the ground
Get up and climb then dive and try to fly again
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Go again
Can the content of my character define my standing in this place?
Not the labyrinth of deep twitching lines that I call an ageing face
Now we learn to lie just to get by, just to close our eyes and to sleep at night
I’m coming up right now
Just to plummet into the ground
I want it big and blue
I want it short and sweet
Make me believe (make me believe)
Can we be free?
Who do you think you are?
You’re neither here nor afar
Taking our chances
I want to swim in the clouds, dive straight into the ground
Get up and climb then dive and try to fly again
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Go again
Who do you think you are?
You’re neither here nor afar
Taking our chances
I want to swim in the clouds, dive straight into the ground
Get up and climb then dive and try to fly again
Get up, get up, get up
Get up and climb then dive and try to fly again
