time to [C]shut up and [F]not say what [G]I don't [C]mean
Time to stand up and be the one that I can be
time to wake up and rise up to my destiny
Take it [F]one little thing at a [C]time, because in [Am]time I [G]find
the [C]simple things I let [G]go, those [F]little seeds I [C]so[G]w
they get me where I [C]go [G] [F] [G] [C]
Time to master the disaster called misery and greed
I can blaster with laughter and a simple selfless deed
Contain it and tame it inside of me,
I can take it and make it into purity
I [F]lay down my [C]distractions, [G]put down my [C]reactions
[F]let go my [C]attractions, and [G]walk on [C]strong, I'm moving [F]o[C]n[G]
Some mess-up or screw-up won't get me blue
there ain't no hang up or hiccup that I can't get though
I can pull-up and shape-up yippy yahoo
It's when I buck-up and cheer-up that the sun shines through
So I lay down my distractions
put down my expectations
let go my apprehensions
and walk on strong
Moving on
No more waiting debating what there is to do
there is something in front of me I know it's true
And when I'm wishing that someone else could pull me through
I'll remember the simple things that I can do
Take it [F]one little thing at a [C]time
because in [Am]time I [G]find
the [C]simple things I let [G]go
those [F]little seeds I [C]so[G]w
they get me where I [C]go
[G] [F] [G] [C]
When I clear up and free up the focus I need
and I store up and gather up that strength I've freed
Then I can step up and measure up to the opportunity
then it's gear up and giddy-up for liberty
I [F]lay down my [C]distractions
[G]put down my [C]reactions
[F]let go my [C]attractions
and [G]walk on [C]strong
I'm moving [F]o[C]n[G]
Time to stand up and give up what I know I don't need
time to wake up and rise up to my destiny
