Stand Up MP3

I remember when you first arrived
Medicated til barely alive
We all watched with wonder as color returned to your cheeks
Thinking of the words we’d say, should we ever get the chance to speak

Stand up, don’t be foolish
You’ve got one life to live, may as well live it now
Put you hand up, come on let’s do this
It’s just you and me, babe, and all the time we’re allowed

I remember when you first awoke
Eyes like steel, voice like velvet rope
You said you’d been dreaming of a man that looks like me
Who gave the most sincere advice without a trace of irony

Stand up, don’t be foolish
We’ve got one life to live, may as well live it now
Put you hands up, come on let’s do this
It’s just you and me, babe, and all the time we’re allowed

It’s December and of course you’re cold
Try to remember what made you so bold
Everybody comes round here, they are looking for a change
Happy are the ones who learn, it is not so odd to be strange

Stand up, don’t be foolish
We’ve got one life to live, may as well live it now
Put you hands up, come on let’s do this
It’s just you and me, babe, and all the time we’re allowed

Stand up, don’t be foolish
You’ve got one life to live, may as well start it now
Put you hands up, come on let’s do this
It’s just you and me, babe, and all the time God allows
