Up Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
caring, growing, and learning more
not afraid to find a better way
we're speaking out what we stand for
do what's right so we can see
spirit of living free
the spirit that lies within your mind
it's time to learn - it's time to come alive
strength of knowledge deep inside
we made our choices and we're holding true
stagnation is all you've ever tried
just sit back and watch us move
do what's right so we can see
spirit of living free
the good times we've seen
our hopes and our dreams
searching for truth through the spirit of youth
'cause we want to live free

The song calls for the realization of the spirit that exists within the mind and encourages people to come alive and learn. It speaks of the strength of knowledge and the importance of holding true to one's beliefs.

Can’t believe this record is 33 years old and still sounds as good as it did when I bought it on vinyl ( which I still have) when I was 15. Holy shit, where did the years go?!? Classic!

The summer of 1988 will never be replicated.
