Get up and go!

Get up and Go
Get up and go now, get up and go
Get up and go now, get up and go
Don't slow the flow now, get up and go
Get up, get up, get up and go

Eyes never see, ears never hear, about the greatness
In which Jah have in store for I and I and I
So no matter what they say, no matter what they do
I and I know that say
We will have to trod on true, trod on true
Because far away on the other side, I know you will be surprised
to know what is waiting there for you, waiting there for you
So don't you be afraid, don't you be mislaid,
Trod along and you will be save
So don't pretend and act as if you're deaf

Get up and go now, get up and go
Get up and go now, get up and go

Some people will try to keep you behind
when they see you stepping forward
so trod along and hold your head up high
Far gone will be the days, when the evil ways
their dwellings will be no more pain
But the judgement still remains the same
What source will they rely on?

Get up and go now, get up and go
Get up and go now, get up and go
Don't slow the flow now, get up and go
Get up, get up, get up and go

Eyes never see, ears never hear, about the greatness
In which Jah have in store for I and I and I

So go now, get up and go
Get up and go now, get up and go
Don't slow the flow now, get up and go
Get up, get up, get up and go
Get up, get up, get up and go
Get up, get up, get up and go
Get up and go now, get up and go
Get up, get up, get up and go
