You Gotta Get Up

Rich Mullins


"I thought Christmas Day would never come 
But it's here at last so mom and dad the waiting's finally done 
And you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up 
It's Christmas morning 

Last night I heard reindeers on my roof 
Well you may think I'm exaggerating but I swear I'm tellin' you the truth 
And you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up 
It's Christmas morning 

Did my sister get a baby doll? Did my brother get his bike? 
Did I get that red wagon the kind that makes you fly? 
Oh I hope there'll be peace on earth 
I know there's good will toward men 
On account of that Baby born in Bethlehem 

Did my sister get her baby doll? Did my brother get his bike? 
Did I get that red wagon the kind that makes you fly? 
Oh I hope there'll be peace on earth 
I know there's good will toward men 
On account of that Baby born in Bethlehem 

Mom and Daddy stayed up too late last night 
Oh I guess they got carried away in the Christmas candlelight 
And you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up 
It's Christmas morning 

And you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up ~ you gotta get up"
