Hands Up!
by: Rory GallagherHands up, reach for the sky
And I will tell you why
This is just a game I'm playin'
You won't feel the same, I'm betting now
Get up, you know this time
That you made up your mind
Think of all the dreams you're chasin'
Think of all the time you're wastin' now
My world is upside down
My inside is inside out
I'm hangin' to a leaf that's shakin'
That's hangin' to a branch that's breakin' off now
Go out into the night, left to the sky
You'll walk out the shoes, you're wearin'
