[Verse:] You find your life is not quite like what you thought it would be And you don't know that you can hold the world in your hand And all the people surrounding you just want what you have So you've been weak up until now that your soul has been stripped... Naked in the sand [Chorus:] Pick yourself up, and change Pick yourself up and change You couldn't see their faces as they were calling your name Your head was spinning from the laughter of strangers to you You turned around, your head in your hands as confusion sets in Was just madness you felt, no more hearts will be broken... I give you my command [Chorus] Pick yourself up, and change Pick yourself up All the people around were dying for pleasure, not holding your hand, your hand, your hand You see my sadness, and pain but all about you thought was the ride, the ride, the ride [Verse:] You took for granted, my treasures were given to unworthy hands You lived a lie, and you still want pity from me I lost my patience, it's the changing that counts, now open your eyes Your time is over now, no more wishes to grant your unsavoury demands Pick yourself up, and change Pick yourself up and change C'mon, pick yourself up, and change Pick yourself up and change Pick yourself up and change Pick yourself up and change
