Get Up, Stand Up Songtext
von Toots & The Maytals

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
