[Verse 1]
Open your eyes
No fears to fathom here
Adjust to the light
Saw that you were having you
A helluva fight
But for now, you’re safe and sound
[Verse 2]
Sun’s on the rise
Come, face the morning
You have many a mile
Through field and forest
Say you’re flag’s raising white
But hear me before you go
You should know
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve had that kind of fire
Burning in my head
Had a hundred little shadows filling me with dread
When you’re lying in your bed
With weight upon your back
The only thing that you gotta ask is
[Chorus]
What are you getting up for?
Who are you gonna reach for when
The way goes dark?
What are you gonna fight for?
True north star
For the compass in your heart
And what will send you to sleep
With the spark of belief
And get you moving while the mourning dove cries?
What are you getting up for?
What’ll get your head held high?
What’ll get your head held
[Verse 3]
High up above out of the mire
See the bird and the bud
Stand through the fire
There is beauty enough to last
On your darkest day
Come whatever they say
[Pre-Chorus]
When there’s too many trails
That you shouldn’t look down
And a hundred little voices filling you with doubt
When you’re lying on the couch
At the mercy of the screen
The only thing that matters to me is
[Chorus]
What are you getting up for?
Who are you gonna reach for when
The way goes dark?
What are you gonna fight for?
True north star
For the compass in your heart
And what will send you to sleep
With the spark of belief
And get you moving while the mourning dove cries?
What are you getting up for?
What’ll get your head held high?
What’ll get your head held high
[Outro]
Cause when they bring you down
They bring you down
They bring you down
What are you getting up for?
What are you getting up for?
