Get Up

I was born a sufferer

A tree cut from its root

It was not very long ago

Since I and I found the truth

I was washed away from sin

Taken to their christening

Never knew the meaning

Till I and I get a revealing

×2

You got crawl before you walk

Walk before you run

And if you run and get a fall

Just get up and brush it off

Locked up in captivity

Shipped across Caribbean seas

So many years after slavery

I still don't know my identity

Once a man and twice a child

My people stories make you cry

Born with wings but cannot fly

We living on the edge of tomorrows light

They say

×2

You got crawl before you walk

Walk before you run

And if you run and get a fall

Just get up and brush it off

Bridge ×4

Oh ooooo oo oh oh ooooo oh ooooo

Oh ooooo oh oh ooooo oh ooooo oh

×4

You got crawl before you walk

Walk before you run

And if you run and get a fall

Just get up and brush it off
