Get Up And Live

 Get Up And Live

 

Wake up get up the sun is rising in the eastern skies

Time you understand the message and open up your eyes

They’ve muddied the rivers and they polluted the skies

In the caverns of your mind so they planted their lies

 

Get up and live you only get one chance

Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance

Get up and live life is a gift of grace

Get up and live make the world a better place

 

We are on a journey we’re the people of one nation

In service to your brethren is the glory of salvation

So you were born in poverty and baptized in sorrow

That was yesterday my friend you still got tomorrow

 

Get up and live you only get one chance

Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance

Get up and live life is a gift of grace

Get up and live make the world a better place

 

Some men they were born to sing the blues

And some men they walk the Earth with no shoes

And some men live in palaces grand

But all men are equal do you understand?

For God He is the creator of us all

And in His sight there is no great or small

 

The philosophy of equality is not a radical notion

Hand in hand sharing all we set the future in motion

You are a stone in God’s temple a wonderful thing

You have reasons to rejoice you have reasons to sing

 

Get up and live you only get one chance

Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance

Get up and live life is a gift of grace

Get up and live make the world a better place

 

Won’t you walk with me as I go down the narrow and straight?

I promise you love I have forsaken the ways of hate

Look in the mirror my friend tell me what do you see

I see the secret in your eyes I see humanity

 

Get up and live you only get one chance

Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance

Get up and live life is a gift of grace

Listen To Get Up And Live

I Am Aleena

 I Am Aleena

 

Hear my voice I am the advocate of the poor

I sing for freedom I sing against war

Mother Africa she will rise as before

Good times are near knocking on the door

 

I am Aleena from the Uganda wild

I am Aleena an African child

I fight for all yearning to be free

I am Aleena the champion of liberty

 

My hands are busy planting the seeds

We must work hard to meet our needs

I shall not go down without a fight

We are the generation to make it right

 

I am Aleena from the Uganda wild

I am Aleena an African child

I fight for all yearning to be free

I am Aleena the champion of liberty

 

I want you to sing this song with me

I want you to walk by my side

I want you to sing this song with me

Africa is our mother say it with pride

 

We shall build temples for the God of Love

He will answer with blessing from above

The Almighty will smile and turn the page

We are walking to a blessed age

 

I am Aleena from the Uganda wild

I am Aleena an African child

I fight for all yearning to be free

I am Aleena the champion of liberty 

I Am Aleena

"Africa" by John Kaniecki

Africa

By John Kaniecki

Africa she cannot part

Her home is in my heart

You tore me from my love to have me hated

Chained on a slave ship I was degraded

Sent to harsh toil in a foul wicked land

Whipped and beaten by an arrogant hand

Mothers raped, children sold on the auction block

I was made like an animal another of the stock

But in my soul through soft whispers we spoke

We never forgot her despite our iron yoke

Shine on Africa shine on so all can see

I will fight for I must be free

I am not a slave but a prince noble and grand

I am from Africa cannot you understand

See my skin dark brown it is not a shame

You hate my spirit; you’ve but your evil to blame

Africa, they brought me here to bind me in a cage

I have awoken, you will learn my rage

Shine on Africa fulfill our destiny

There will be no peace until you are one with me

Africa such are the lessons you teach

Africa your sweetness is now within reach
