When it's time to get up you're gonna know it

You gonna get a feeling inside, you gotta show it

Come on relax and put your mind at ease

And forget all your insecurities

You gotta move, nothing can hold you down

And let nothing turn your move around

You start counting up 1-2-3

Come on people just get free



Get free

In the midst of a trouble love

Get free

Gotta find you another one

Get up - come on people just get free

There's a chance if you open up

Get free

Freedom dance if you open up

Freedom - come on people just



You've been holding back to long

Now the feeling is much to strong

Take a look at the other side of your heart

And begin to tear the rules apart

No your momma can't help you now

And your daddy can't show you how

You gotta do it all by yourself

And if you need it here's a little help



Get free

In the midst of a trouble love

Get free

Gotta find you another one

Get up - come on people just get free

There's a chance if you open up

Get free

Freedom dance if you open up

Freedom - come on people just



People listen to me

You don't have to worry - naw, naw

Just get up when you're down

And the whole world around

Will be a better place for me and for you - oh

We got to tell one another

Tell your sister and your brother that

If the world isn't as free like the world ought to be

That the world would be the sight to see
