Stand Up And Walk
by Matt Hammitt, Michael Tait, John Cooper

Album: Hero - The Rock Opera

Cripple: Hey can spare a little change?
Hey man that ain't cool

CRIPPLE:
I need some change - anybody help me out?
I need a square - how long have I been without?
22 years - sittin' in the same old place
I need a hand - anybody here for me
This crippled man - needs a little sympathy
Don't walk away, I'm still part of this human race
Hey... hey...


HERO:
Do you believe that this water can heal you?


CRIPPLE:
I believe I may never find out
Can't get no one to carry me over

HERO:
Find a little courage; if you wanna get well, you gotta

(chorus)Stand up and walk! Don't let nobody hold you down
Get on your feet! Your day has finally come around
Keep a little faith and wake up to a better day
Stand up and walk - Heaven's made a way for you
Get on your feet - step above the game you knew
Everybody jump - I've come to take your sins away


KAI:
Do you realize that there are law and regulations?
Do you have a permit for these healings on the Sabbath?
Let me make this order clear - I don't want your circus here
Don't invite the riot troops of ICON to descend on us
Don't incite the urchins to believe in all those tricks you do
For all of them it's much too late
Their sins already seal their fate


CRIPPLE:
I'm on my feet again!


HERO & FOLLOWERS:
Stand up and dance!


HERO:
(chorus)

(w/ crowd) Stand up and dance! Don't let nobody hold you down
Stand up and dance! Your day has finally come around
Keep a little faith and wake up to a better day

Stand up and dance! Heaven's made a way for you
Stand up and dance - step above the game you knew
Everybody jump - I've come to take your sins away


CRIPPLE:
I'm gonna dance - put on my dancin' shoes
I'm gonna dance, I'm gonna dance, yeah...
