Stand Songtext
von Edwin Starr

Everybody, stand up
Get on up now, aaaah
Everybody, get up now, stand
Let me see you, get on up now, aaaaah

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
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, get up, get up now
Stand, I just want you to get up, get on up now
Stand, whoo, whoo, whoo
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, get up, get 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, get up, get on up now
Stand
Stand up, get up, get on up now, please
Show what you believe in, for what you know is right
Get on up and stand up and fight now, everybody...
