  • I gotta stand up and take a step
    You and I have been asleep for hours
    I gotta stand up
    The wire is stretched in between our two towers
    Stand up in this dizzy world
    Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
    I'm gonna fall down if I can't stand up
    For your love

    Love love love love love
    Stand up, this is comedy
    The DNA lottery may have left you smart
    But can you stand up to beauty, dictator of the heart
    I can stand up for hope, faith, love
    But while I'm getting over certainty
    Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Out from under your beds
    C'mon ye people
    Stand up for your love
    Love love love love love
    Love love love love love

    I gotta stand up to ego but my ego's not really the enemy
    It's like a small child crossing an eight lane highway
    On a voyage of discovery
    Stand up to rock stars, Napolean is in high heels
    Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Out form under your beds
    C'mon ye people
    Stand up for your love
    Love love love love love
    Love love love love love

    God is love
    And love is evolution's very best day
    Soul rockin' people moving on
    Soul rockin' people on and on
    C'mon ye people
    We're made of stars
    C'mon ye people
    Stand up then sit down for your love

    Love love love love love
    Love love love love love
    Love
