Stand Up Now

VERSE
You can see it in her eyes
She holds so much pain
But no one says a word,
When they laugh and call her names
What-cha gonna do, are you gonna do,
What-cha gonna do, are you gonna do, what’s right
You hold the key, you have the opportunity to

CHORUS
Stand up now, lift up your voices
Stand up now, this is your time
Stand up now, we all have choices
Rise and fight with kindness

VERSE
He sits all alone, cautious and afraid
As they push him to the ground, not a single word is said
What-cha gonna do, are you gonna do,
What-cha gonna do, are you gonna do, what’s right
You can set him free

CHORUS

RAP VERSE
Hey yo we gotta stand up… even thru adversity,
Cuz troubles always come around trying to ruin you and me
We gotta fight back with love is the answer,
Gotta push the hate down, let em see us stand up,
We need to spread the peace and let the hate die,
Knowing that… We can achieve something great rise!
And stand firm when you’re going thru the struggle,
When people try to break you down remain humble…
Know that you’re worth more then they treat you,
Try as they can, but don’t let ‘em deceive you,
Just stand tall and nothing can reach you,
Though some people are cruel don’t let them defeat you…

CHORUS
