Stand Up

When the wicked world
Knocks you to your knees
Stand up, stand up
When the blade of life
Cuts you till you bleed
Stand up, stand up
When you wonder why
You ain’t goin’ nowhere
You won’t find the answer
Sitting in a chair
Stand up, stand up
Ya gotta stand up

Any time you see
Cruelty happenin’
Stand up, stand up
Look it in the eye
Do the righteous thing and
Stand up, stand up
Sisters and my brothers
What is wrong with us?
We can live together
If we all will just
Stand up, stand up
Everybody stand up

Cheaters running Wall Street
Liars in D.C.
Stand up, stand up
Greedy fingers grabbin’
What belongs to you and me
Stand up, stand up
Power to the people
Pounding down the door
Sayin’ to the man
“We won’t take it anymore”
Stand up, stand up
Everybody stand up
