Stand Up lyrics

  ---

  I been walkin'
  With my face turned to the sun
  Weight on my shoulders
  A bullet in my gun
  Oh, I got eyes in the back of my head
  Just in case I have to run
  I do what I can when I can while I can for my people
  While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night

  That's when I'm gonna stand up
  Take my people with me
  Together we are going
  To a brand new home
  Far across the river
  Can you hear freedom calling?
  Calling me to answer
  Gonna keep on keepin' on
  I can feel it in my bones

  Early in the mornin'
  Before the sun begins to shine
  We're gonna start movin'
  Towards that separating line
  I'm wadin' through muddy waters
  You know I got a made-up mind
  And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation
  And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die

  So I'm gonna stand up
  Take my people with me
  Together we are going
  To a brand new home
  Far across the river
  Can you hear freedom calling?
  Calling me to answer
  Gonna keep on keepin' on

  And I know what's around the bend
  Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone
  And I just might fail
  But Lord knows I tried
  Sure as stars fill up the sky

  Stand up
  Take my people with me
  Together we are going
  To a brand new home
  Far across the river
  Can you hear freedom calling?
  Calling me to answer
  Gonna keep on keepin' on

  I'm gonna stand up
  Take my people with me
  Together we are going
  To a brand new home
  Far across the river
  Do you hear freedom calling?
  Calling me to answer
  Gonna keep on keepin' on

  I'm gonna stand up
  Take my people with me
  Together we are going
  To a brand new home
  Far across the river
  I hear freedom calling
  Calling me to answer
  Gonna keep on keepin' on
  I can feel it in my bones

  I go to prepare a place for you
  I go to prepare a place for you
  I go to prepare a place for you
  I go to prepare a place for you
