lyrics

Preacher man don't tell me heaven is on the earth
I know you don't know what life is really worth
It's not all that glitters is gold, when half the story has never been told
Now you see the light, stand up for your right

Get up, Stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight

You see, 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 will look for yours on earth
Now you see the light, stand up for your right

Get up, Stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight

We're sick and tired of your isms, schisms game
Die and go to heaven in the Jesus name, Lord
We know and we understand, almighty God is a living man
You can feel some people sometimes, but you can't fool all the people all the time
And now you see the light, stand up for your right

Get up, Stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
