lyrics

Darkness consumes you 'til there's no light.
Can't seem to find you without any light.
You're on the verge of losing yourself; a cry for help.
Well, here I am! Just take my hand and let's go!

Get up, get out, get moving.
The world's outside your door!

I see the pain behind your eyes;
Trapped inside your own body.
Your mind is stuck on telling lies;
You're not well but you're surviving.
Can you please tell me, friend?
How can we make this end?
Not to give up on life, but to give up on misery.
You're not well but you're surviving.

Glued to your chair, your feet grow roots,
And plant you in the ground.
You don't seem to care.
You've accepted life with no new branches.
I must resist shaking you 'til all your leaves fall.
Growing takes patience.
But at some point, you've gotta move forward!

I'll pull you to your feet,
We'll rinse, and repeat to help wash away all the bullshit.
They've been telling you while I told the truth.
I always had you in my best interest.

I guess it all comes down to one thing, really...
GET BUSY LIVING OR GET BUSY DYING!

When will you listen?
When will you be the one to make a decision
Of moving up and moving on?
When will you listen?
When will you be the one to make a decision
Of moving up and moving on with your life?
