C'mon Get Up (Learning How To Walk Again)

C'mon get up darling, its time for you to get fed.
i know you like your crib, but soon you'll sleep on a bed.
look how fast you're crawling, and now you're beginning to walk.
you astound us all by how quickly you've began to talk

C'mon you gotta get up. time to use the potty.
you're favorite word these days is "no", to both me and your mommy.
you run around the house and fill it with such laughter.
let's stay in this moment forever and live happily ever after.

C'mon get up, you don't want to be late for school.
I've iron pressed a new outfit and polished your favorite shoes.
Today is your first day and you deserve to look your best.
Don't you worry, i promise to pick you up when the day begins to rest.

C'mon you gotta get up you got picked to play the game!!!
You can daydream later on about the fortune and the fame.
I know it helps the days go by; since your momma passed away
Yes your daddy's got some issues, but he'll come around, just pray.

C'mon get up... hurry up! here's your shoes and your clothes
last night was wonderful but i think i hear my folks
graduation is tomorrow and you're our class val edict
but i also have some news for you: im 2 months pregnant

C'mon get up... you're really drunk and out of control
things haven't been working for years but for your child you won't go.
Your wife can't take it any more that's why she's filing for divorce,
i know you caught her cheating but not leaving her was your course

C'mon get up! Do you have any type of ID?
don't you have anywhere to stay this late night at 20 after 3?
there's no sleeping in any public parks after it gets dark
plus we'll have to book you for this baggie full of tar.

C'mon get your ass up! time to move you from this cell
sons of bitches like yourself never get posted bail
don't matter that you're leaving, i'm sure that you'll return.
it's pathetic how people like you just don't learn.

C'mon start getting up, you've got an important bus ride
if you do well, this night may be the beginning of a new life
you finished school, so good for you but this is just the start
you want a career in a competitive field? start by showing heart

C'mon! You gotta get up! you just won the coveted award
this is the moment that you worked so very hard for
this dream that is being realized is grander than you envisioned
look, even your big boy is proud of you and very smitten

The virtues of a man are rarely seen as he falls,
they're realized when with no strength to stand
he keeps forward as he struggles just to crawl.
