How can you stand there, when all around you is a lie?
|
How can you stand there, and not wonder why
|
What right to complain when so many much worse off than you
|
How can you stand there, and just watch them do it?
|
|
How can you stand there, come walk with me that extra mile
|
How can you stand there, and not raise a smile?
|
You must be paralyzed, so little time, so much to do
|
And soon you'll realize that it's down to you
|
|
'Cos it's not over till you hit the top, it's not over till you have to
|
stop
|
It's not over while we have a chance
|
No it's not over, so come on and dance now
|
|
How can you stand there, how can you stand there
|
How can you stand there, how can you stand there? Lord!
|
|
Warning signs all around this town
|
Something's up, something's coming down
|
Made aware by the plagues and quakes
|
We're wound up tight like it's gonna break now
|
The drums are thumping, blood is pumping
|
Hands on the clock getting ready to stop
|
tires screaming, engine smoking, look out driver the Earth is choking
|
|
And how can you stand there, how can you stand
|
How can you stand there, how can you stand there?, Lord!
|
|
It's not over, no no, it's not over, no no no
|
No it's not over, hell no, no it's not over
|
No it's not over till you hit the top, it's not over till you have to stop
|
It's not over while we have a chance
|
It's not over, so come on and dance now, and
|
|
How can you stand there, how can you stand there
|
How can you stand there, how can you stand there?
|
Amandla!
