Who said that my country could be sold? That we could have lost all that is shares. Who said that the old man was insane? That he just won't ever be the same. I know what they told you But we're now behind you. If God makes you strong tonight, We'll stand up for your freedom. Stand up, stand up, stand up Stand up, Stand up. X 2 Who said that religion had a clue? That you'd be a guide before you knew. Who said that the color of your skin Would tell me the content of your soul? I know what you showed them, The blood from your right hand That gave us the chance to rise And stand up for your freedom. Stand up, stand up, stand up Stand up, Stand up. Stand up for your freedom. X 3 Stand up, stand up, stand up Stand up, Stand up. Yeah. (Talking) Set free your heart and your conscience of stone, Just fly and take me higher. X 4
