Stand Up - Jimmy Barnes

Spent your life on the fence

And wonder where the time went

From the time you were born

You always did what you’ve told

When you’ve gone there’s nothing you leave behind

Always easy to please

Never get off your knees

Give and you will receive

Just like a kick in the teeth

How long can you just turn the other cheek

Tell me what you’ve got to lose

There’s just so much you can do

Stand up, one shot can make a nation cry

One voice can make them wonder why

One spark can make a fire burn

One lesson everybody must learn

You gotta search for the truth

It’s just so easy to lose

When there’s so many lies

That find a way to get through

I know the future is in your hands

Don’t hide your head in your hands

There’s just so much you can stand

Who’s gonna answer your prayers

When you are no longer there

If you’re looking for signs

You must be crazy or blind

I know the future is in your hands

Tell me what you gotta lose

There’s so much more you can do
