Box of Stars, Pt. 1 Songtext
von Jacob Collier

Gon′ take this raindrop
Down to the sea, whoa
It will wash my fears away
And when I wake up
I'll see you smiling
You are my ocean
Rain down on me


Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet

Yeah

Get up on your feet (Hey!)


Never been the one for backing down
I keep it steady, ready, if somebody at me now
Well life is funny, so sometimes you gotta act a clown
But one thing about a blessing, it come back around
I ask around
I′m known by over half the town
And they rootin' for a kid like me
I was once at home all alone making songs
In the image of a person that I just might be
So now I feel free
Tell me what's next
Will it go right if I turn left?
If I′m really taking flight, can we cop a little jet?
There′s so much I wanna see
And so much I'm gonna get
Gotta keep my stride with a pepped-up step
I′ma be just fine, you can make that bet
Everything's on time, ′cause it's all concept
Live a carefree life
Ain′t got one regret, nah (I feel so free)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet

(Yeah)
Woke up this morning with joy in my mouth (yeah!)
And love on my lips (ayy)
Nothing's too much for a child of creation (no, no)
Was born with this gift (uh-huh)
Si el dolor es pesado no pares
The rain came from heaven to harvest
I promise you love is the ocean
And I'm just a little droplet, ayy
They said it couldn′t be done
Mama was a queen, and she raised three sons
Taking deep breaths like I got three lungs
No es mi final, we have just begun
(Ay) be ready now the pain stops
Collecting the blessings and raindrops (uh-huh)
Been living in a box of stars
Just the whole wide world
With the love in my heart (let′s go)

Maybe this phone is not good for my, good for my head
I'm scrolling, I′m scrolling, I'm scrolling
I scroll and I scroll on my phone ′til I wish I was
Dead, nah, I said what I said
I should be cheering instead of upset
I should be cheesy and hop on a trend
Isn't it easier just to pretend?
What do I get? (ayy)
Down to my elbows
Down to my knees
Down to my worn-down toes and feet
Down to the rivers and down to the seas
Down to the sun as it rise in the East
Down to the sky as calm as peace
Down to the smallest thing there is
Wash me, raindrops, wash me clean
Maybe then I might be me

Allô, ouais, ça t′dit d'venir danser là?
Ouais, j'sais pas, ça doit être, euh, des bijoux?
Un, deux, trois, quatre!

Dansez comme cela vous chante
Chantez comme cela vous pense
Pensez comme cela vous tente
On s′en fout qu′ça ait du sens
On met un pied devant l'autre
On le met derrière aussi
On le met sur le côté
Et puis on fait la toupie

Kubo kubo iTolo litshona kubo
Aligobi alijiki phambili itsho inqubo
Bendiyombethe irhwexa lengubo
De ndawanyathela onke lameva angumgubo
Ziyabonakala iziphumo zentshukumo
Ndinityebisela ngamagama angangomdlali wesumo
Life is good is nice - Sdumo
Ndivuka ndinoncumo naphakathi kwendudumo
Ndiyakhululeka kulomboko ndiyeke
Thula wena ubheke ndikhe ndipheke
Ndibulelela ungakhali oko ndiqhekeke ndihleke
Intsikelelo zigcwale zichitheke idolo ndilibeke (get up on your feet!)
Intando yakho mayenzeke, uThando maluqheleke
Inkohlakalo ishiyeke Impilo yongezeke uMdali adeke, yeah

Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
Allez chantez!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
(Gon′ take this raindrop)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
(Gon' take this raindrop, raindrop)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Get up on your feet
Get up on your feet
