Get Up, Stand Up Lyrics

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
Heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know
What life is really worth

It's not all that glitters is gold
Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light
You 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
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-a 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,COME ON
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...
We 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
We gonna stand up for
Our rights...COME ON

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
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
