Stand Up

by David Kirton

I was at the cross roads of decision
What am I gonna do with my life
How will I be able to survive
Then a voice kept calling
From somewhere deep inside
And it said to me
It said to me,eh!

Stand up and stand up
And be counted
Stand up and stand up
And be counted
Stand up and be counted
In this generation
In this iration

Could you imagine
Believing in yourself
The wall before you so tall
Still you come over
Ooh yeah
Could you imagine
Believing in yourself,well,well
The battle seems so hot
Still you face up
And stand up, Lord
Could you imagine
Believing in yourself
When ya moving in strange water
Don't know what you might but-up
But,if you believe in what you're doing
You won't give up,oh Lord
Could you imagine
Could you imagine
Could you imagine
Eh !
Stand up and stand up
And be counted
Stand up my children
This generation
Stand up and be counted,Lord
I say !

Could you imagine
Believing in yourself
Mountain seems so high
Still you come over
Ooh yeah
Could you imagine
Believing in yourself, well, well
The road before you
So, so, long
Still you keep movin' on and on
Though the river seems so wide
Got to come over to the other side
Tell me how you a gon'do it my friend
Unless you try
Could you imagine
Could you imagine
Could you imagine,Lord,Lord!
Eh !

Stand up and stand up
And be counted
Stand up,wanna stand up my children
Get up and stand up in this generation
well, well, well !

Back off, oppression!
Back off, negativity!
Don' t let no weak heart or pressure
Come and make you change your mind
Can you see your life long vision
Don' t leave it behind
Could you imagine
Could you imagine
Could you imagine

Believing in yourself
Hold on my children
Believing in yourself
You've got to stand up
and stand up and
Got to do your works, y'all
Don' t wait upon no one
You've got to
Get up and stand up my children
Don' t wait pon de government.
