Get Up - live

Pull them strings with money and things is the world and its ways
Still your soul is in your control no matter what they say
Love essential stirred up the temple - and I long to see
Christianity touching reality like it's called to be

Hey hey arise
Get up get up
Hey hey it's time
Get up get up

Just ain't funny seeing how money talks louder than pain
Europe Asia Australia America Africa the same
Wealth demands it, whose are the hands that wring the powerless dry
All and sundry feel the need go do something with your life

Every day it's 42 000 children pass away
Most despicable those from preventable diseases today
See how we got the audacity giving God all the blame
No good reasons no excuses these are things we could change

And if you keep your faith how can you keep your distance

These are the signs
These are the times
These are the things that should open your mind

Wake up sleeper
These are the days
Bear up the light and do what He says

These are the signs
These are the times
These are the things that should go through your mind
This state of mind will leave you wide awake

If Malcolm had a dream then I guess I am living his vision
Praying for my brothers that are locked up in mental prisons
See what going on - on the earth I maintain
Trying to hack my way out of this matrix mainframe
Trying to come to peace with myself is so hard
But everyday is a blessing and yes thank God
I keep walking past the obstacles hoping I don't fail
I am searching for the truth like in the Holy Grail
Man I set sail and I'm out there searching for Zion
Because I've learnt in this world there's very few you can rely on
So I keep to my own and hope He is hearing my prayers
Staying true to the art and I rock it like Amadeus

'Cause it's crazy too much sometimes to fathom
Thinking how the mechanism of the devil has them
Trying to get me too I can sense him right on my back
But I am staying true to God like when the angels attack
