Lyrics
STAND UP NOW
Words and Music by Charlie McCormick and Ric Cabot Podmore
You've come a long way
But your new life's just begun;
You've been waiting for someday
And your someplace in the sun;
Don't be afraid, today-
'Cause when the preacher man said, "Be good to yourself,
You don't want to be burning in hell,"
He was living his whole life on his knees...yea, yea
There's so much of life that nobody knows,
So many things that we just suppose;
Don't let this crazy world hold you down,
Stand up now!
Elected leaders
We have voted into place,
The liars and cheaters
Oh, it's all part of the game;
I am afraid, today-
And the preacher man says, "The Gospel is great,
So drop your dollars down and pass on the plate
And we can keep the spirit of the good Lord alive;"
But so much of life is so far beyond
What we can put a dollar figure on,
When so many people are crying out loud,
Stand up now!
Stand up now, stand up now;
Stand up now, stand up now, hey!
Get on your feet, right now,
Stand up, don't you believe, hey!
Stand up now, stand up now;
