stand up (and be strong)

listen up

get ready

i'm not gonna take no more

there's a revolution

revelation

going on in my soul

buckle up

get ready

we're not gonna sit back and wait

and allow ourselves and each other to lose control about things

there'll be no sacrifice

no more tears

no more pain

lord

no more fears

i got to make my move

get out of my way

'cause we've been waiting way too long

we don't wait

wait no more

we got a mind

of our own

that's right

we can't go wrong

if we stand up and be strong

get up

everybody

get off your ass

we got to do something and we got to do it fast

'cause the people are hungry

starving

and a few things more

don't wait for jesus

he ain't coming back no more

we've got to sacrifice

write no bill

shed no blood

no

shed no tears

gonna make our move

get out of my way

we've been waiting way too long

we don't wait

wait no more

we got a mind

of our own

that's right

we can't go wrong

if we stand up and be strong
