Stand Up

Who said that my country could be sold?
That we could have lost all that it shares?
Who said that the old man was insane?
That he just wonât ever be the same?
Iâve heard what they told you but weâre now behind you.
If God makes you strong tonight, weâll stand up for your freedom.
Stand up.
Who said that religion had a clue?
That youâd be a guide before you knew?
Who said that the color of your skin would tell me the content of your soul?
I know what you showed them, the blood from your right hand that gave us the chance to rise and stand up for your freedom.
Stand up.
Set free your heart and your conscience of stone, just fly and take me higher.
