As a man with a cause
I’ve had a lot of time to think
And look at who we are
But we’ve got to carry on
And I’ve got so much left to do
But I’ll start with this song
Why can’t you see
Get up everybody
Stand up with me (whoa)
Lets go (tell them we’re coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (stand up with me)
Lets go
Take the world with me
But you get in your way
Don’t tell us tomorrow
You better bring change today
And all we know is pretending
You’ve got to bank on something real
Say, a life worth spending
Why can’t you see
Get up everybody
Stand up with me
Lets go (tell them we’re coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (stand up with me)
Lets go
Take the world with me
Hold it high
Come take the world with me
Let it burn let it burn let it light up the sky
Stand up (you’ve got to let them know)
Stand up (you’ve got to make them see)
Get up people
Stand up with me
Lets go (tell them we’re coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (So I’ll sing)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (tell them we’re coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Come everybody stand up with me
Lets go
Lets go (Take the world with me)
Lets go
Lets go

Brilliant song. I have high hopes for Cycles.

love cartel and love this song...they are amazing makes me wanna bring ppl together!! =]

I think this song means people are pretending to be something they aren't and its not getting them anywhere! You need to speak up and say what you are thinking and do what you want to do and not just live a lie because it wont get you anywhere in life

Some of you are saying it has something to do with having strong will power. I don't understand how you missed the biggest clue...
"Let me reintroduce myself As a man with a cause I’ve had a lot of time to think And look at who we are"
Clearly he isn't talking about self here, rather the collective whole (everyone). Why would his cause be about self? Makes no sense coming from Cartel.
The second biggest clue is he says: "Why do they lie Why can’t you see Get up everybody"
"Why do they lie" First of all who is they and what lie was it? Do you still think its about self or does it seem more like he is trying to say something about a controlling group? "Get up everybody..." Clearly it is about something much more deeper than some ego-satisfying crap.
"So if you’ve got a torch to carry Hold it high Come take the world with me Let it burn let it burn let it light up the sky"
This just makes it all the more obvious he is speaking about standing up against a controlling group that lies to everyone and he is saying don't he scared and come bring them down with me...
