Get Up Stand Up

Get up, stand up, stand up for your right

Get up, stand up, stand up for your right

Get up, stand up, stand up for your right

Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

Preacher man, don't tell me that Heaven is under the Earth

I know you don't know what life is really worth

Is that all that glitter is gold, half the story had never been told

So now you see the light, 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

Get up, stand up, stand up for your right

Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

Most people think, Great God will come from the sky

Take away everything and make everybody feel high

But if you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on Earth

And now you see the light, you stand up for your rights, jah

Get up, stand up

(Jah, jah)

Stand up for your right

(Oh-hoo)

Get up, stand up

(Get up, stand up)

Don't give up the fight

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

(Lord, Lord)

Get up, stand up

(Keep on struggling on)

Don't give up the fight

(Yeah)

We sick an' tired of-a your ism-schism game

Dyin' n' goin' to heaven in-a 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

(What you gonna do?)

We gonna stand up for our right

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

So you better get up, stand up

(In the morning, git it up)

Stand up for your rights

(Stand up right now)

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

(Don't give it up, don't give it up)
