There's someone somewhere
who can't go on;
Their life is cryin', it's all gone wrong.
What can I say now
to help you get through,
Except to say that,
I've been there too ?
You got to wake up, shake up,
you got a right to live;
Shake up, don't break up,
you've got a lot to give.
Your soul is achin'
you can't see it through;
But time is healin',
each day you do.
Keep on lookin' forward
forget the past;
It's up to you now, don't let it last.
You got to wake up, shake up,
you got a right to live;
Shake up, don't break up,
you've got a lot to give.
You'll wake up one mornin'
you start to feel good;
The sun in the blue sky,
looks like it should.
'Cause time is a healer
it's strange but it's true;
So keep lookin' forward,
the sun will come through.
You got to wake up, shake up,
you got a right to live;
Shake up, don't break up,
you've got a lot to give.
