Pickin' Up Songtext
von Aswad

Some are trying, yet some will try in vain
Some will do the best they can
While others keep their best inside them
Hearts are bleeding, now we′re living on a prayer
Dancing on a rainbow's edge
As if they just don′t care

We'll be jamming
Are you picking up now?
Oh, now picking it up, picking it up
Are you picking up now?
Oh, now picking it up, are you picking it up?

If everybody wants a future that's bright
Then everybody ought to do what is right
But everybody got so much to say
′Cause everybody wants things their own way
And everybody want a dream they can hold
So everybody ought to work for their goal
But everybody got so much to give
Does everybody want something for nothing?


Are you picking up now?
Yeah, oh, I gotta know now
Tell me, are you picking up now?
Oh, are you picking it up, are you picking it up?

If you′re not up, a take life fi joke
Don't you know time is longer than rope
With a dutty intention, you have no direction
You better start picking up and changing up your program

Some are wanting, wanting their fair share
Standing on their common ground
There′s nothing left to fear
Politicians fledging, now we're left out in the cold
Wishing on a rainbow′s edge
Now all their lies are sold

We'll be jamming
Tell me, are you picking up now?
I wanna know, I wanna know, know, know
Are you picking up now?
Picking it up, are you picking it up?


If everybody wants a future that′s bright
Then everybody ought to do what is right
But everybody got so much to say
'Cause everybody wants things their own way
And everybody want a dream they can hold
So everybody ought to work for their goal
But everybody got so much to give
Does everybody want something for nothing?

Another reason, sufferation, it a gwaan all the while
Oppression and depression, nations in a turmoil
Recession and economical exile
Warfare everywhere, mankind blood a boil
But-a now is the time to reconcile
Live in harmony and stop running wild
'Cause I have a message fi the whole of mankind
War and hatred, we fi left behind

Oh yeah, are you picking up now?
Are you picking it up, picking it up?
Tell me, are you?
Tell me, are you?
Are you picking up now?
