Get Up, Stand Up (alternative studio take) Songtext
von Bob Marley & The Wailers

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

Preacher man don′t tell me heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know what life is really worth
Is not all that glitters in gold and
Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light, aay
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 you see the light
You stand up for your right, yeah!

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

We′re sick and tired of your ism and skism game
Die and go to heaven in 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
We gonna stand up for our right


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
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don′t give up the fight
Don′t give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don′t give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don′t give up the fight

Don't give up the fight
Don′t give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don′t give up the fight
Woah

So we won′t give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight
So we won′t give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight
So we won′t give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight
So we won′t give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight
I say I won't

So we won′t give up the fight
So we won′t give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight
So we won′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 you see the light
You stand up for your right

Stand up for your right, yeah!
Stand up for your right, yeah!
Stand up for your right, yeah!
Stand up for your right, yeah!
