Stand Up Cynthia Erivo
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 wadin’ through muddy waters, you know I got a made up mind
And I don’t mind if I loose any blood on my 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, can you 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
