Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up

I know you're clinging to the light of day
To tell you everything's a-okay
A medication don't do much
Yeah, it just numbs the brain

Guess you might say I'm a little intense
I'm on the bright side of being hell bent
So take it from me, you're not the only one
Who can't see straight (Can't see straight)

If you were ever in doubt
Don't sell yourself short, you might be bulletproof
Hard to move mountains when you're paralyzed
But you gotta try
And I'm calling out

Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
What's taking so long
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Stop stalling, I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
Ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I believe you can be whatever
And I agree you can do much better, just trust me

Trust me

Everybody wants to sing that song
Some Marvin Gaye, what's going on?
Ain't nothing normal when it comes to you and me
I'd rather twist myself in knots than watch you give up on your dreams

If you were ever in doubt
Don't sell yourself short, you might be bulletproof
Hard to move mountains when you're paralyzed
But you gotta try
And I'm calling out

Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
What's taking so long
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Stop stalling, I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
Ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I believe you can be whatever
And I agree you can do much better, just trust me

Yeah I don't know why I never talked about it
I guess that's probably part of the problem
Yeah sometimes you're wrong, sometimes you're right
Just gotta keep moving
Yeah, I'm just gonna keep moving
Today, tomorrow, gonna get

Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
What's taking so long
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Stop stalling, I'm calling out
Get up, get up
Get a move on
Get up, get up
Ain't nothing wrong
'Cause I believe you can be whatever
And I agree you can do much better, just trust me

Get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up

    "Cause I believe you can be what you like [?]" is not correct it is supposed to be "Cause I believe you can be whatever" I believe this is what it is I listened to the song and also searched up the lyrics on other things, I am just letting you know as it had a question mark and it hadn't sounded right so I figured it out, it is whatever, can I politely ask for someone to fix this mistake if possible? I do not mean to sound rude or Karen like either.
