Description
This was a poem I wrote a few years ago aimed at a friend of mine who was forever moaning on a website with a 'poor me' attitude, so that people would feel sorry for him. It struck me that there are a lot of people like that who don't understand that we all feel down at times and have bad things happen to us. Well I looked at the GB loop and chopped and messed about with it, adding only a few of the verses, to make this song. It might not be Rhythm and blues as-is, but it's certainly got a souly dancy moving forward movement.

Lyrics
Hands up All.
Intro.
Ooooh! Some people keep on moanin'
One day they're gonna have to fall.
Yeah- yea-ah yea yea yea yea-ah
They keep moanin', moan'
Tellin' us they're feelin' down.
.............
Verse.
Now, Hands all who want to wallow in the misery of the past,
Hands up all who want to stay there,
Hands up quick, you must be fast.
'Cause if you do we're sure to leave you,
You'll be left there on your own.
Life's for living, like a journey.
Are you with us everyone?
Chorus.
Yeah- yea-ah yea yea yea yea-ah
People keep on moan'in',
Tellin' everybody, they're feelin' down.
Verse.
Hands up all who want to join us
As we grab the ladder rail,
Every step to take us upward
To the light we cannot fail.
Reach back try to help the stragglers,
Pull them upward if you can,
But mind the ones who'll pull you downward,
Just to test you; that's their plan.
Chorus. Yeah-ah etc....
Verse.
With hands up, try to reach above you
There you'll find another hand.
Willing just to love and hold you,
and to help you if they can.
Are you willing to go forward
Pulling others to the light?
Casting off the roll of 'Victim',
All that's good within their sight.
Chorus.
Yeah- yea-ah yea yea yea yea-ah etc...
Verse.
Hands up all who want to linger in the past?
I see a few.
I'm begging them.. No! I'm imploring!
Come with us to pasture new.
No holding back, we must go forward
Leaving all that's dark behind.
We ALL were 'Victims', now we're 'Victors'
Travelling on with bright new minds.
Chorus.
Yeah- yea-ah yea yea yea yea-ah etc. ...

Moviz, this is cool. Almost Barry White-ish or Earth Wind and Fire inspired! I wanted to hear some of yor stuff since you were nice enough to listen to mine, and I am glad I did. The chorus with the harmonies is the best part!
Sincerely,
Marc
