Lyrics

VERSE
I had given up and i didn't even know it
i was done before i started
in my youth, i could not pretend
that i wasn't shaken by the battles i was facing
there were times when i said your name
and waited for an answer in the midst of all their laughter

PRECHORUS
you said get up and know that you're alive
get up and know that it's alright
get up it's time to start your life the right way

CHORUS
and then you told me there was more
and i was ready for a difference

the light filled my room
so bright i couldn't see and i was coughin barely breathing
with your word, i rose up
i pulled myself off the floor and i stumbled through the front door
and then you took my hand
when i was close to dying you looked me in the eye and said to

PRECHORUS
get up and know that you're alive
get up and know that it's alright
get up it's time to start your life the right way

Chorus
and then you told me there was more
and i was ready for a difference

bridge
its time to change. i can change.
