Stand Up
U.M.A Lyrics

I gotta stand up and take a step
I need to make a change in my life and take action

You and I have been asleep for hours
We've been unaware of what's been happening around us for a long time

The wire is stretched in between our two towers
Something is separating us, but we can overcome it

Stand up in this dizzy world
Be strong and resilient in this crazy world

Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
Love can blind us and distract us from what really matters

I'm gonna fall down if I can't stand up
If I don't take action, I'll fail and lose everything

For your love
I'm doing this because I love you

Stand up, this is comedy
Life is like a comedy, we shouldn't take it too seriously

The DNA lottery may have left you smart
Intelligence is sometimes determined by luck

But can you stand up to beauty, dictator of the heart
Can you resist the power of love and attraction?

I can stand up for hope, faith, love
I can be strong and fight for what I believe in

But while I'm getting over certainty
While I'm learning to be open-minded and accept uncertainty

Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady
Stop trying to control everything and let things happen naturally

I gotta stand up to ego but my ego's not really the enemy
I need to overcome my ego, but it's not the only obstacle in my life

It's like a small child crossing an eight lane highway
Overcoming my ego is a difficult task

On a voyage of discovery
In an effort to find out more about myself and the world around me

Stand up to rock stars, Napolean is in high heels
Don't let celebrity or fame fool you, they're not invincible

Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas
Be wary of people who talk a big game but can't back it up

God is love
Love is a fundamental part of the universe

And love is evolution's very best day
Love is the pinnacle of evolution and human experience

Soul rockin' people moving on
Strong and resilient people who are determined to succeed

Soul rockin' people on and on
These people will continue to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals

C'mon ye people
Let's go everyone

We're made of stars
We're all connected and part of something greater than ourselves

Stand up then sit down for your love
Be strong when you need to and rest when you need to, all for the sake of love

Love
Love is the central theme of this song
