Get Up

No-one has to think about their heartbeat
It just pounds inside your chest
Day and night, night and day
No, no-one thinks at all about their heartbeat
We just assume that it's there and there to stay

But everybody's heart is a drummer
Yes, a drummer who bangs and cracks and pounds
If you listen, you just might start to wonder
How anyone can sit there and not make a sound

Get up!
Get up off the floor
There's a rhythm in your heart telling you it's time to start
So get up!
Walk right through the door
There's a drumbeat in your chest that will one day come to rest
Now get up

Once you hear your heart beat inside you
You can break apart the walls
Break the ceiling, break the floor
Yes, once you let your heartbeat move and guide you
It can show you how to fly and how to soar

But remember that it's now or never
That drummer doesn't last all that long
Your heartbeat won't go on forever
Five hundred will slip by before the end of this song

Get up!
Get up off the floor
There's a rhythm in your heart telling you it's time to start
So get up!
Walk right through the door
There's a drumbeat in your chest that will one day come to rest
Now get up

And every creature gets a different number
Big old whales beat slow, little mice beat fast
The smaller you are, the faster your drummer
So don't give up
Make it count while it lasts

Get up!
How many heartbeats have you got?
There's a rhythm in your heart telling you it's time to start
Get up!
How many heartbeats have you got?
There's a drumbeat in your chest that will one day come to rest
Get up!
How many heartbeats have you got?
Get up off the floor
If today is all you've got, will you give it your best shot?
Now get up!
How many heartbeats have you got?
Walk right through the door
Can you feel them slipping by? Time is short, you've got to try
Now get up!
Aaah
Get up!
