Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right (3 times)
|
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
|
|
Preacher man don't tell me heaven is under the earth
|
I know you don't know what life is really worth
|
Is not all that glitters in gold and
|
Half the story has never been told
|
So now you see the light, aay
|
Stand up for your right. Come on
|
|
Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
|
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
|
(Repeat)
|
|
Most people think great God will come from the sky
|
Take away ev'rything, and make ev'rybody feel high
|
But if you know what life is worth
|
You would look for yours on earth
|
And now you see the light
|
You stand up for your right, yeah!
|
|
Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
|
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
|
Get Up, Stand Up. Life is your right
|
So we can't give up the fight
|
Stand up for your right, Lord, Lord
|
Get Up, Stand Up. Keep on struggling on
|
Don't give up the fight
|
|
We're sick and tired of your ism and skism game
|
Die and go to heaven in Jesus' name, Lord
|
We know when we understand
|
Almighty God is a living man
|
You can fool some people sometimes
|
But you can't fool all the people all the time
|
So now we see the light
|
We gonna stand up for our right
|
|
So you'd better get up, stand up, stand up for your right
|
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
|
Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
|
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
