Stand Up Cynthia Erivo Song Lyrics by Cynthia Erivo
I been walkin’With my face turned to the sunWeight on my shouldersA bullet in my gunOh, I got eyes in the back of my headJust in case I have to runI do what I can when I can while I can for my peopleWhile the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night
That’s when I’m gonna stand upTake my people with meTogether we are goingTo a brand new homeFar across the riverCan you hear freedom calling?Calling me to answerGonna keep on keepin’ onI can feel it in my bones
Early in the mornin’Before the sun begins to shineWe’re gonna start movin’Towards that separating lineI’m wadin’ through muddy watersYou know I got a made up mindAnd I don’t mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvationAnd I’ll fight with the strength that I got until I die
So I’m gonna stand upTake my people with meTogether we are goingTo a brand new homeFar across the riverCan you hear freedom calling?Calling me to answerGonna keep on keepin’ on
And I know what’s around the bendMight be hard to face ’cause I’m aloneAnd I just might failBut Lord knows I triedSure as stars fill up the sky
Stand upTake my people with meTogether we are goingTo a brand new homeFar across the riverCan you hear freedom calling?Calling me to answerGonna keep on keepin’ on
I’m gonna stand upTake my people with meTogether we are goingTo a brand new homeFar across the riverDo you hear freedom calling?Calling me to answerGonna keep on keepin’ on
I’m gonna stand upTake my people with meTogether we are goingTo a brand new homeFar across the riverI hear freedom callingCalling me to answerGonna keep on keepin’ onI can feel it in my bones
I go to prepare a place for youI go to prepare a place for youI go to prepare a place for youI go to prepare a place for you
