Gloria Estefan - Get on your feet

Get On Your Feet

Lyrics


Get on your feet

Get up and make it happen

Get on your feet

Stand up and take some action

You say I know it's a waste of time

There's no use trying

So scared that life's gonna pass you by

Your spirit dying

Not long ago

I could feel your strength and your devotion

What was so clear, is now overcast

With mixed emotions

Deep in your heart is the answer

Find it, I know it will pull you through

Get on your feet

Get up and make it happen

Get on your feet

Stand up and take some action

I think it's true that we've all been through

Some nasty weather

Let's understand that we're here

To handle things together

You gotta keep looking onto tomorrow

There's so much in life

That's meant for you

Get on your feet

Get up and make it happen

Get on your feet

Stand up and take some action

Get on your feet

Don't stop before it's over

Get on your feet

The weight is off your shoulder

Awayo, Ahwayo...

Get up and make it happen

Stand up, stand up, stand up and take some action

Gotta get on your feet, yeah, yeah

Don't stop before it's over

Get on your feet

The weight is off your shoulder

Get on your feet

Get up, get up, get up and make it happen

Get on your feet

Stand up, stand up and take some action

Get on your feet


 One creative writing course in high school, she had a real favorite student in that class, and it surely wasn’t me.  I’m not a writer, don’t call myself one anyway, I can write, I have many stories to tell.  I love to tell stories, I love details and the thoughts that combine in your head and congeal, and focus and run and run and run.  I won’t blame that teacher for not choosing me as her favorite, I was no one's daughter, that’s to begin with, yeah, she is Noam Chomsky’s daughter, so of course she’d be brilliant.  I was talented in other ways, every main part in every play, see- I did tell stories all the time, just not my own, and I got every solo in the chorus, and did recitals at my mother’s restaurant.
