You have to get up
You have to get up
You have to stand up for yourself
do not lie down
that's not what the Lord wants for you
Every time there is a blow
against your head and against your heart
know there is a stronger person deep inside you
and he gets angry slowly
Every time someone wants to hurt you
whether there is blood flowing
or bad things are said
does anyone know your ant
no this life is not perfect
and no one's path ever just goes straight
but if you persevere and persevere
keep moving forward
do you see this miracle happening
… That you can get up
you have to stand up for yourself
even those who love you hurt- now again
Jy moet opstaan
Jy moet opstaan
Jy moet opstaan vir jouself
moenie bly lê nie
dis nie wat die Here vir jou wil hê nie
Elke keer wat daar ‘n hou kom
teen jou kop en teen jou hart
weet daar is ‘n sterker mens diep binne jou
en hy raak stadig kwaad
Elke keer wat iemand jou seer wil maak
of daar nou bloed loop
of kwaai verkeerde dinge word gepraat
weet daars iemand aan jouk ant
nee hierdie lewe is nie perfek nie
en niemand se pad loop ooit net reguit nie
mar as jy uithou en aanhou
bly vorentoe beur
sien jy tog hierdie wonderwerk gebeur
… dat jy kan opstaan
jy moet opstaan vir jouself
selfs die wat jou seermaak liefhê- nog en weer ‘n keer

Reading in translation of course; a solid and supportive lyric with an optimistic and bright backing. Good simple listening. Vocal presentation is toned just right for the the lyric.
( if reworking this, put a gate on the repeated high bell note, it's overpowering the vocal 1:27 to 1:43)
