[Verse 1]
Hurry up, I just can't wait
I gotta do it now, I can't be late
I know I'm not afraid I got to get out the door
If I don't do it now, I won't get anymore
You try to criticize my drive
If I lose, I don't feel paralyzed
It's not the game, it's how you play
And if I fall, I get up again now

[Chorus]
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over

[Verse 2]
Got past my first mistake
I'll only give as much as I can take
You're never going to see me standin' still
I'm never going to stop 'til I get my fill
It doesn't matter who you are
It's what you do that takes you far
And if at first you don't succeed
Here's some advice that you should heed

[Chorus]
You get up again, over and over
You get up again, over and over
You get up again, over and over
You get up again, over and over

[Bridge]
I'm not afraid to say I hear a different beat, oh
And I'll go out in the street, yeah
And I will shout it again
From the highest mountain

[Breakdown]
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up

[Verse 3]
Hurry up, I just can't wait
I gotta do it now, I can't be late
I know I'm not afraid I got to get out the door
If I don't do it now, I won't get anymore
You try to criticize my drive
If I lose, I don't feel paralyzed
It's not the game, it's how you play
And if I fall, I get up again now

[Chorus]
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over

[Bridge]
I'm not afraid to say I hear a different beat, oh
And I'll go out in the street, yeah
And I will shout it again
From the highest mountain

[Interlude]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Shout it, shout it, shout it, ah
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over

[Chorus]
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over

[Breakdown]
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up

[Chorus]
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over

[Outro]
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
