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!
Preacherman
don't tell me
Heaven is
under the earth
I know you don't know
what life is really worth
It's all that
glitters is gold
half the story
has never been told
so now you see the light
Eh!
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 skies
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!
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!
(Keep on struggling on!)
Don't give up the fight!
(Yeah!)
You're sick an' tired of
your ism-skism 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're gonna stand up
for our rights!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Get up, stand up!
(In the morning!
get it up!)
Stand up for your right!
(Stand up for our right!)
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight!
(Don't give it up
Don't give it up!)
Get up, stand up!
(Get up, stand up!)
Stand up for your right!
