Get Up!

Get Up!

Tony C. Franklin

Get up, get up, you mangy beast,
The sun is rising in the East.
It is time to rise and work,
Time to create your own good luck.

Today is a step toward your dream,
Far away, though it seems.
Lay another brick on your trail.
Do not stop, or you will fail.

Eat, sleep, dream and build.
You cannot imagine the power you wield.
Countries are built on the dreams of man.
Build your dream. You know you can.

Build for you and your family.
Dream for your city and your .
Never give up, never stop.
Not until you reach the top.

A dream is just an idea unmapped,
Until planning and action are attached.
Your dreams are waiting to be built.
Don't you dare let them wilt.

So get up, get up, you magnificent beast,
The sun is rising in the East.
It is time to rise and work,
Time to create your own good luck.
