Get Up, Stand Up (x2) I was going... to see my love And I was going Get ready, brother Get ready, sister I was going... to see my love I was flowing Get on board the train For the evening train would be too late Get on board the train For the evening train will be too late But I don't hear it Where is the evening train? Sitting in the brightened sun Waiting for the day to come Wishing for the night to come That won't help Sitting in the brightened sun That won't help Each the night and day will come That won't help Get up now Get up, stand up now Sitting inside a soul Crying every day for more (x2) That won't help Crying every day for more Fly a bird in the evening sun Burning out of control (x2) That won't help C'mon, C'mon... Get Up, Stand Up Time is going down now My summer love is fading
