I got to stand up and take a step
You and I have been asleep for hours
I got to 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
Stand up, this is comedy
The DNA lotto may have left you smart
But can I 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
[Chorus]
Whooo hooo hoo
Whooo hooo hoo
Out from under your beds
C'mon ye people
Stand up for your 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, Napoleon is in high heels
Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas
[Chorus]
Whooo hooo hoo
Whooo hooo hoo
Out from under your beds
C'mon ye people
Stand up for your 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
You and I have been asleep for hours
I got to 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
Stand up, this is comedy
The DNA lotto may have left you smart
But can I 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
[Chorus]
Whooo hooo hoo
Whooo hooo hoo
Out from under your beds
C'mon ye people
Stand up for your 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, Napoleon is in high heels
Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas
[Chorus]
Whooo hooo hoo
Whooo hooo hoo
Out from under your beds
C'mon ye people
Stand up for your 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
