Get Up - West Indian Girl

Say goodbye to everyone and leave it all behind

You know they tried to hold you down

And change your way of life

But no judge or Lord above can tell you what to do

Get up, get up

One day when we get away high upon that hill

You’ll see we’re all the same, no matter what we feel

There’s a little good in everyone, everyone can shine

Get up, get up

You and I will rise above

You and I will shine on, into the blue

You know they won’t believe unless it’s on TV

And now we’re saving ourselves

And all the people we love

Yeah, the people we love, come on

Get up, get up

You and I will rise above

You and I will shine on
