Lyrics:

I been walkin' with my face turned to the sun
Weight on my shoulders, bullet in my gun
Oh, I got eyes in the back of my head just in case I have to run
I do what I can when I can while I can for my people
While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night

That's when I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going to a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on
I can feel it in my bones

Early in the mornin' before the sun begins to shine
Gonna start movin' towards that separating line
I'm wading through muddy waters, you know I got a made-up mind
And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation
And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die

So I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going to a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on

And I know what's around the bend
Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone
And I just might fail, but Lord knows I tried
Sure as stars fill up the sky

Stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going to a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on

I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going to a brand new home
Far across the river
Do you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on

I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going to a brand new home
Far across the river
I hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on
I can feel it in my bones

I go to prepare a place for you

[Corgicakes]

Nothing more beautiful then a black womans voice! Powerful!

[sadiexx]

I love how she uses her beautiful voice that God gave her and she uses it to spread gospel and to love God more in a beautiful way.

Harriet Tubman held tightly to God, and He saw her through. Hold steady to God as He takes hold of your hand and your life. Do not fear, He will help you.

[KaydeeLatter]

I had a black history month pep rally today at school and a beautiful black women sang this song and the whole school was singing with her she had such amazing voice something I will remember forever.❤

[marvildegayoaquino]

Harriet earned the name Moses as a tribute to her bravery, audacity and willpower. During her many missions to rescue 70 slaves, she depended on God's support and guidance through her prayers and visions. As we watched the closing credits, we thought of Harriet's speech and her final encounter with the plantation owner's who for years has been on a crusade to capture, torture and kill her.

[Goldenyou]

Who is here in 2024 and if like this comment you are a legend

[marvildegayoaquino]

Stand Up is a special tribute to Harriet Tubman: an expression of hope, strength and inspiration to do good for one another.

[wordforger]

This is one of those few songs that gets me all choked up because it's so real. I think of "Moses" and those in bondage who fled to freedom, or never made it... But the fight for freedom lives on.

[cassandrarodriguez]

This song is so powerful!!! Made me cry🥺🥰

[Sarah-szlg]

She is so powerful! The school next to mine did this at a choir concert and I got chills! It was beautiful representation and I love that they included it. Both Cynthia and the students voice were so powerful

[blackgirlmusic-os]

Oh Lord have mercy, that song just gives me goosebumps. It touched my soul!! May God bless her!!! 💥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[Jazmin-qu]

I'm leaving this comment so every time someone likes I will remember this wonderful song

[makaylabaccus]

This message is so powerful. BLM we are going to make it like we once did come let's keep fighting

[MohammadTabbakha]

We should never judge people based on their color or background

[peacefulleopard]

This song may have been intended to talk about Harriet Tubman. However, I think it’s fabulous that everyone is seeing their own interpretations in it. They may not be the original interpretation, but I love seeing the people in the comments saying “Free Palestine” “End police brutality” “Women’s rights” If you can draw strength from this song, and apply it to the things you believe are important, that’s wonderful.
