Get Yourself Up

Even if your world slows down
Get yourself up off the ground
You sense you know the pain has its own path
Be strong because pain won't last forever

Baby, are you feeling a little alone?
People's true colors are starting to show
Did you get dumped by that special someone?
Or much worse off, did you lose a dear loved one?

Why are you feeling really down today?
Because you just learned your best friend passed away
Yet all the bullies are having a parade
And you feel like no one will ever come to your aid

Infuriated, incapacitated, so deflated, frustrated
And often just a unappreciated and unmotivated
So alienated, just like devastated
Heartbreak compensated, feels so separated, life's too complicated
Rather just be sedated

It's not fit to fall down

Now you get yourself up off the ground

Get yourself up off the ground
You sense you know the pain has its own path
Be strong because pain won't last forever
Self-love, though I don't like the way that I look today

Consider myself lucky, worse could be on the way

So I think about those who are really in need
And I try to help them out as I repay my greed
Intrinsic motivation is all that it takes
So I don't wait for others to fix my mistakes
Don't wait for an invitation, it won't arrive
It's only up to me to make myself feel alive

Infuriated, incapacitated, so deflated, frustrated
And often just a unappreciated and unmotivated
So alienated, just like devastated
Heartbreak compensated, feels so separated, life's too complicated
Rather just get sedated, it's not fit to fall down

Now you get yourself up off the ground
Get yourself up off the ground
You sense you know the pain has its own path
Get yourself up off the ground

You got some really sad news today
Dealing with a really heavy heart
You're keeping it all inside yourself
And it's starting to tear you apart
If your friends don't help you with serious stuff
They're probably not real friends at all

Look in the mirror and then ask yourself
Are you really heeding my call?
So be the good friend you know you should be
There are people worse off than you'll ever be
They need your help, so lend them a hand
Then someone will help you and you'll understand

So have faith, invigorate
Whatever their problem, help dominate
Someday looking down from up above
It's not how they fall
It's how you help them up

You get yourself up off the ground
Get yourself up off the ground
You sense you know the pain has its own path
Get yourself up off the ground
Because faith won't last forever
