Raise Your Hand

You gotta lift yourself a little bit
You gotta raise your hand and say “That’s it!”
Don’t ever sit back baby and take that shit
You gotta lift yourself a little bit

Let myself down before
Fought a non-existant war
Won’t go back there again
Won't drown in my rain

I’m worth more than nothing
Gotta see what life brings
I gotta tell myself
Won’t go back on that shelf

‘Cos you gotta lift yourself a little bit
You gotta raise your hand and say “That’s it!”
Don’t ever sit back baby and take that shit
You gotta lift yourself a little bit

But I gotta, trust you see
It’s been hard for me
Been stamped on so hard
Couldn’t see a way forward

‘Cos she’s worth it I know
I gotta let it just flow
Instead of suspicious minds
We gotta see what we find

‘Cos you gotta lift yourself a little bit
You gotta raise your hand and say “That’s it!”
Don’t ever sit back baby and take that shit
You gotta lift yourself a little bit

Don’t give up nor let it go
Because in time you’ll just know
That the effort was worth it
Love’s got you in its grip

And the time is just right
And you’ve won that last fight
There’s no such thing as never
Only a time called forever

‘Cos you gotta lift yourself a little bit
You gotta raise your hand and say “That’s it!”
Don’t ever sit back baby and take that shit
You gotta lift yourself a little bit
