Lyrics

Sea water sounds
There's someone somewhere
Who can't go on
Their life is crying
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 aching
You can't see it through
But time is healing
Each day you do
Keep looking forward
Forget the past
It's up to you now
Don't let it last
You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give (woah)
You wake up one morning
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 looking forward
The sun will come through
You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give
You got to wake up, shake up
You 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 crying
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, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give
