I wake up
Every morning
With a heavy weight on my brain
The stress of the world is taking years off of me
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta change
I am getting weary
Feeling like I'm going insane
I get up
And I face the day
Givin' it all I've got
I'll take the guff, I won't pass the bluff
Givin' it my best shot
I'm gonna seize the day. I'm gonna take what's mine, leave no man behind
I get up
And I work it out
And take it to the top
I get up
Oh I get up
Life is hard
Nothing's easy
No shortcuts in sight
Lots of problems, out of answers
Feels like it never ends
Whoever told you life was easy
They were either crazy or lying
But it's vain to think I'm the only one in this kind of bind
Something's gonna give
Something's gonna change
I am feeling weary
Have I lost my brain? (My brain)
I get up
And I face the day
Givin' it all I've got
I'll take the guff, I won't pass the bluff
Givin' it my best shot
I'm gonna seize the day, take what's mine, leave no man behind
I get up
And I work it out
And take it to the top
I get up
Oh I get up
Panic settling in
I am feeling fried
I need your spirit to thrive (To thrive)
I need it all just to keep me alive (Alive)
I wake up
Every morning
With a clear conscience and mind
The stresses of the world
I have left behind
Something had to give
Something had to change
I am feeling ready to breathe easy once again (once again)
I get up
And I face the day
Givin' it all I got
I'll take the guff, I won't pass the bluff
Givin' it my best shot
I'm gonna seize the day, take what's mine, leave no man behind
I get up
And I work it out
And take it to the top
I get up
And I faced the day
I gave it all I got
I took the guff, I didn't pass the buck
I gave it my best shot
I seized the day, took what's mine, left no man behind
I get up
And I worked it out
And I'm taking it to the rooftops
I get up
I got up
Oh I got up
Yeah I got up
Ooh
I got up yeah-ah
