Get Up Stand Up
L.A.U.T. Lyrics

I gotta stand up and take a step
I need to wake up from our slumber and make a move in the right direction.

You and I have been asleep for hours
We have been idle and not pursuing our goals for a very long time.

The wire is stretched in between our two towers
There are obstacles that divide us, and we need to overcome them to succeed together.

Stand up in this dizzy world
We need to keep our feet firmly planted and face the challenges of life bravely.

Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
The distractions of romantic infatuation can cause us to lose focus on our objectives.

I'm gonna fall down if I can't stand up
If we don't stand up for ourselves and what we believe in, we will fail.

For your love
Our motivation for standing up and taking action is the love we have for others.

Stand up, this is comedy
We need to learn to laugh at ourselves and our struggles to not take life too seriously.

The DNA lottery may have left you smart
Our intelligence is determined by our genes, but our character and attitude are up to us.

But can you stand up to beauty, dictator of the heart
It's easy to be swayed by superficial appearances, but we need to stand up for what truly matters.

I can stand up for hope, faith, love
We must have faith in the future, the hope that things will get better, and the love for our fellow man.

But while I'm getting over certainty
It's okay to not always be sure of ourselves and our beliefs and to remain open to new ideas and experiences.

Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady
We must learn to let go of our need to control all aspects of life and trust that things will work out as they should.

Out from under your beds
We need to overcome our fears and step out of our comfort zones to make progress.

C'mon ye people
We need to encourage and support each other in our endeavors.

Stand up for your love
We need to defend our passions and pursue what makes us happy.

I gotta stand up to ego but my ego's not really the enemy
We need to overcome our pride and arrogance to work together towards common goals.

It's like a small child crossing an eight lane highway
Our ego is vulnerable and needs guidance to navigate through the obstacles of life.

On a voyage of discovery
We must remain curious and open-minded to discover new things about ourselves and the world around us.

Stand up to rock stars, Napolean is in high heels
We should not be intimidated by those in high positions, as even they have their own flaws and weaknesses.

Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas
People who seem unimportant may have the greatest ideas and should not be dismissed.

God is love
Love is the highest power in the universe.

And love is evolution's very best day
The evolution of humanity is driven by love and compassion.

Soul rockin' people moving on
People who are motivated by their soul are the ones who move forward in life.

We're made of stars
We are all connected to the universe and are capable of great things.

Stand up then sit down for your love
We need to take action to pursue what we love, but also take time to rest and care for ourselves.

Love
Love is the ultimate reason for standing up and persevering in life.
