A wise man, will get up off the ground.

A fool, will stay down.

A wise man, will get up off the ground.

A fool, will stay down.

If you've been ripped and you've been stuck,

if you've been bit and you've been cut,

If your friends have forsaken you, and you're feelin down.

There's one thing left for you to do,

and that's get up off the ground.

Get up, I said, get up.

A wise man, will get up off the ground.

A fool, will stay down.

A wise man, will get up off the ground.

A fool, will stay down.

If you've been scorned and you've been torn,

if you've been vexed and you've been hexed.

If you're feeling sorry for yourself and you are feelin hurt.

There's one thing that you can do,

and that's get up off the dirt.

Get up, I said get up now,

get those feet movin.

(Solo)

You see, when you're feelin down and at your worst moment,

you might feel, well I'm finished.

Well, you know, that's what Jesus said, "IT'S FINISHED".

and then look what He did, man,

He broke the bands of death. He conquered the powers

of darkness and ascended into heaven.

And now He's seated at the right hand of God.

If you abide In Him, you're a wise man

and evrything will be alright.
