There's someone somewhere who can't go on
Their life is cryin', it's all gone wrong
What can I say now to help you through
Except to say that I've been there too?
Your soul is achin', you can't see it through
But time is healin' each day you do
Keep lookin' forward, forget the past
It's up to you now, don't let it last
You got to wake up, shake up
You've got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give
You wake up one mornin', you start to feel good
The sun in the blue sky looks like it should
'Cause time is a healer, it's strange but it's true
So, keep lookin' forward, the sun will come through
You got to wake up, don't shake up
You've got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give
You got to wake up, don't shake up
You've got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give
There's someone somewhere who can't go on
Their life is cryin', it's all gone wrong
What can I say now to help you through
Except to say that I've been there too?
You got to wake up, don't shake up
You've got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give
