Get Back Up by Toby Mac is a contemporary rap Christian song. It sounds like a rap song and most probably the oldies won’t like it. However, if you are a young people and love rap music, you can start forgetting about secular rap songs.

The song actually talks about backsliding. It says that it is time to get back up again. You might be knocked down but not forever. This song is pretty much in for the young people.

Verse 1:
Ab5                 Eb5
You turned away when I looked you in the eye,
Bb5                    C5
and hesitated when I asked if you were alright.
Ab               Eb5
Seems like you're fightin' for you're life,
Bb5         C5
but why? oh why?
Ab5            Eb5
Wide awake in the middle of your nightmare.
Bb5                C5
You saw it coming but it hit you outta nowhere.
Bb
and there is always scars, when you fall that far.

Chorus:
Eb5             Bb5
We lose our way! But get back up again!
C5                   Ab5
It's never too late! To get back up again!
Eb5            Bb5
One day, You gonna shine again!
C5                   Ab5
You may be knocked down, but not out forever!
Eb5             Bb5
We lose our way! But get back up again!
C5                   Ab5
So get up, get up! You gonna shine again!
Eb5            Bb5
It's never too late! To get back up again!
C5                   Ab5
You may be knocked down, but not out forever!

Verse 2:
Ab5              Eb5
You roll out at the dawning of the day,
Bb5                     C5
Heart racing; as you make your little get away.
Ab5                 Eb5
It feels like you been running all your life,
    Bb5            C5
But why? oh why?           So you,
Ab5                  Eb5
pulled away from the Love that would've been there,
Bb5                  C5
and started believing that your situation's unfair.
Ab5                     Bb5
But there's always scars... when you fall that far!

Chorus:

Eb5             Bb5
We lose our way! But get back up again!
C5                   Ab5
It's never too late! To get back up again!
Eb5            Bb5
One day, You gonna shine again!
C5                   Ab5
You may be knocked down, but not out forever!
Eb5             Bb5
We lose our way! But get back up again!
C5                   Ab5
So get up, get up! You gonna shine again!
Eb5            Bb5
It's never too late! To get back up again!
C5                   Ab5
You may be knocked down, but not out forever!
C5                   Ab5
You may be knocked down, but not out forever!
