"Stand" lyrics
"Stand"
(originally by Sly and the Family Stone)
Everybody
(Stand)
Get up
(Stand)
Get on up, now
(Stand)
Aaah ow!
(Stand)
Everybody
(Stand)
Get up now!
(Stand)
Stand! Let me see you
(Stand, stand, stand)
Get on up now
Oh oh oh
Stand
In the end it will still be you
One that's done all the things you set out to do
Stand
There's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere
Woo woo woo woo, stand
For the things you know are right
It s the truth that the truth makes them so uptight
Stand
All the things you want are real
You have you to complete and there is no deal
So everybody
(Stand, stand, stand)
Get up, get on up now, stand
I just want you to
(Stand, stand, stand)
Get up, get on up now, stand
Ooh woo woo
Stand
You've been sitting much too long
There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong
Stand
There's a midget standing tall
And the giant beside him about to fall
So everybody
(Stand, stand, stand)
Get up, get on up now, stand
Stand
They will try to make you crawl
And they know what you're saying makes sense and all
Stand
Don't you know that you are free
Well at least in your mind if you want to be
So everybody
(Stand, stand, stand)
Get up, get on up now, stand
(Stand, stand, stand)
Get up, get on up now, please
(Stand, stand, stand)
For what you believe in, what you know is right, get on up and stand up and fight, now
(Stand, stand, stand)
Everybody, get it together, we got to stand up one for another
(Stand, stand, stand)
Stand up, now

Sunshine touched my heart
Children of the earth
