When I’m weary from travelin both hands to the plow
My devils are tryin to turn me around
I aint quittin or givin up I must confess
It’s hard but I’m tryin my best
If you can hear me sing along

Lift up your head and raise your hands
Open up your eyes to the needy ones
Wake up O’ sleeper it’s time to do your best
We gotta stand out stand out from the rest

I’ve got foes in Heaven and friends in hell
That’s what my daddy taught me as well
Well I’m just an old blind man when my eyes are on me
Sweet Jesus please help me to see
If you can hear me sing along

Lift up your head and raise your hands
Open up your eyes to the needy ones
Wake up O’ sleeper it’s time to do your best
We gotta stand out stand out from the rest

Stand out...oh you know that’s how we gotta live
Stand out from the rest
Stand out...just like ones that came before us did
Stand out from the rest

Lift up your head and raise your hands
Open up your eyes to the needy ones
Wake up O’ sleeper it’s time to do your best
We gotta stand out stand out from the rest

Stand out...oh you know that’s how we gotta live
Stand out from the rest
Stand out...just like ones that came before us did
Stand out from the rest
