Song Description

It's time to buck up.

Lyrics

When I awoke, I was flat on my back.
Then someone spoke;they went right into their attack.

They said, ?Boy, what?re you doing down there ?? ?You shouldn?t be down on your knees !?
?You should be back on your feet.? ?Now, I?m begging you, please.?

?Nobody said that life was made to order,
sometimes you?ve got to take some time to reflect.?
?You?ve got one or two of us in your corner,
that?s all you?ve got any right to expect.?

?So, get on up,
until the boy stops swinging.?
?Just get on up,
until that bell is ringing.?

I was in a haze, I tried to clear my head.
I expected sympathy,I got slapped back, instead.

They said, ?Boy, what?re you doing down there ?? ?You shouldn?t be down on your knees !?
?You should be back on your feet.? ?Now, I?m begging you, please.?

?You know you?ve got to get up in the morning.?
?You only do it ?cause you?ve got no choice.?
?Things hit the fan, without any warning,
that?s how we separate the men from the boys.?

?So, get on up,
you?ll hear a clap like thunder.?
?Just get on up,
I won?t let you go under.?
