Stand Up (From Harriet)

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 wading 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
