Stand Up And Walk |
| Washington Square — East Greenwich Village |
| A homeless, blind war-cripple sits by the gate to tent city making his plea, |
| proving the squeaky wheel really does get the grease. |
| Matt Hammitt as Cripple, Michael Tait as Hero, John Cooper as Kai |
| Cripple: |
| I need some change — anybody help me out? |
| I need a square — how long have I been without? |
| 22 years — sittin' in the same old place |
| I need a hand — anybody here for me |
| This cripple man — needs a little sympathy |
| Don’t walk away — I’m still part of this human race |
| Hey — hey |
| Hero: |
| Do you believe that this water can heal you? |
| Cripple: |
| I believe I may never find out |
| Can’t get no one to carry me over |
| Hero: |
| Find a little courage if you wanna get well — you gotta |
| (Chorus) |
| Stand up and walk! |
| Don’t let nobody hold you down |
| Get on your feet! |
| Your day has finally come around |
| Keep a little faith and wake up to a better day |
| Stand up and walk — heaven’s made a way for you |
| Get on your feet — step above the game you knew |
| Everybody jump — I’ve come to take your sins away |
| (Rabbis: Laws! Laws! Laws!) |
| Kai: |
| Do you realize that there are laws and regulations? |
| Do you have a permit for these healings on the Sabbath? |
| Let me make this order clear — I don’t want your circus here |
| Don’t invite the riot troops of ICON to descend on us |
| Don’t incite the urchins to believe in all those tricks you do |
| For all of them it’s much too late |
| Their sins already seal their fate |
| Cripple: |
| I’m on my feet again! |
| Hero & Followers: |
| Stand up and dance! |
| Hero: |
| (repeat chorus) |
| W/ Crowd: |
| Stand up and dance! |
| Don’t let nobody hold you down |
| Stand up and dance! |
| Your day has finally come around |
| Keep a little faith and wake up to a better day |
| Stand up and dance — heaven’s made a way for you |
| Stand up and dance — step above the game you knew |
| Everybody jump — I’ve come to take your sins away |
| Cripple: |
| I’m gonna dance — put on my dancin' shoes |
| I’m gonna dance — I’m gonna dance |
| Yeah… |
