TITLE: Get Up, Stand Up
Lyrics and Chords
Get up, stand up, stand up for your right (3x)
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
/ Cm - - - / :
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 and half the story has never been told
So now you see the light, aay, 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
{Repeat}
Most people think Great God will come from the sky
Take away ev'rything, and make ev'rybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth, you would look for yours on earth
And now you see the light, you stand up for right, yah
Get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get up, stand up, get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight - life is your right
Get up, stand up, so we can't give up the fight
Stand up for your right, Lord, Lord
Get up, stand up, keep on struggling on
Don't give up the fight, yeah
We're sick and tired of your ism schism game
Die and go to heaven in 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 right, so you'd better
Get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
{Repeat}
