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

He said all that glitters is gold

Half that story ain't never been told

So now you see the light, hey

You 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 sky

Take away everything

And make everybody feel high

But if you know what life is worth

You would look for yours on earth

And now a you see the light

You stand up for your right

Jah!

Get up, stand up (Jah, Jah)

Stand up for your right (oh-hoo)

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 rights (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

Dy'n' and go 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 (watch you gon' do?)

We gonna stand up for our rights (yeah, yeah)

So you'd better

Get up, stand up (in the morning) give it up

Stand up for your right (stand up right now)

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 rights (get up, stand up)

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight (get up, stand up)

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

Get up, stand up
