GET UP AND GO!

GET UP AND GO!

There are days I'd rather lie in bed,
Pull the covers over my head -
And sleep till noon or maybe more;
Keep the troubles from my door!

Yet if I don't make at least a try
To work out problems and get by;
The day will be a waste, and so
I know I must get up and go!

It's hard to leave a house that's warm;
It's hard to go out in the storm
To face the duties of the day -
Surely there is a better way...

But as long as I am still alive,
To make life better I will strive;
I may be older, lost the youthful glow
But I know I must get up and go!

The day will come when I retire,
Stay home and tend to the fire;
But I will never feel too low
As long as I can get up and go!
