Get Up by Mary Mary

Lyrics

Layin’ Low
PRESS’N pause
Sleeping long
Slow motion
Gonna do
Shoulda, coulda, woulda done
Excuses

What are you afraid of?
Don’t you know what you’re made of?
One of God’s greatest creations
Take this invitation now

Get Up
‘Cause you can’t stop
Get Up
Got a lot to do
24 hours
almost gone
Get Up
Don’t sit there
Get Up
If you wanna get there
Clocks don’t stop and
Time won’t wait

He said, She said
They said, What do you say?
It’s your dreams
your choice
your time
your life
So don’t you
don’t you
miss it

What are you afraid of?
Don’t you know what you’re made of?
One of God’s greatest creations
Take this invitation now

Get Up
‘Cause you can’t stop
Get Up
Got a lot to do
24 hours
almost gone
Get Up
Don’t sit there
Get Up
If you wanna get there
Clocks don’t stop and
Time won’t wait

Welcome to the rest of your life
from now on, just try
to live more, want more, work a little harder
dance more, laugh more, be a little smarter
hug a little longer, love a little stronger
you’ve been down but now it’s time to

Get Up
‘Cause you can’t stop
Get Up
Got a lot to do
24 hours
almost gone
Get Up
Don’t sit there
Get Up
If you wanna get there
Clocks don’t stop and
Time won’t wait (2x)

One more time, Say…
Get Up (x9)

Take One Step At A Time

January 30, 2012 by April

Dear One,

You can’t get back the time you spent. That’s ok. You’re doing the best you can now. I accept where you are now. You’re walking. One step at a time.

Walking by Mary Mary

Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Tell me what you see when I pass by
A shadow, a cloud, or a line in the sky
Am I gettin’ it wrong or am I gettin’ it right
Well, all I can take is one,
One step at a time

[Bridge:]
Look at me, I’m trying
Everyday, I fall down
Make mistakes
Get back up
Try again
Next time that you see me

[Chorus: 2x]
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking

[Verse 2:]
Some people say walking takes too long
But I say with walking you can’t go wrong
Why should you rush your way through life
You won’t get very far, running all the time

[Bridge:]
Look at me, I’m trying
Everyday, I fall down
Make mistakes
Get back up
Try again
Next time that you see me

[Chorus: 2x]
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking

[Bridge:]
What does my life say about me
Can anyone see
Does it show I rock with the Greatest
I can’t get back the time I spent
Use the rest of it
To show all the world how I made it

[Chorus: 4x]
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking
