Stir It Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
From an ordinary life won't you save me
In this ordinary life don't want it easy
Will you wake me from this dream
Life on anaesthetic
Let me feel the joy and feel the pain
Let me really live it
No time, no choice
Save my heart from the bland
Oh feed me colour me
Push me through to the place I can make my stand
Don't want it easy
Rock the boat
And shake the tree
You got to stir it up sometimes
Turn this anger into your passion
Just don't tow the line
You got to stir it up
You got to stir it up sometimes
You got to stir it up
You got to stir it up sometimes
Just don't tow the line
Won't be paralyzed by doubt
We can make the difference
One voice raised against the void
Celebrates it's own existence
Knock me and I'll just get up again
Stronger, wiser
The adversary will now become my friend
From an ordinary life won't you save me
In this ordinary life don't want it easy
Rock the boat
And shake the tree
You got to stir it up sometimes
Turn this anger into your passion
Just don't tow the line
You got to stir it up
You got to stir it up sometimes
