"I got eyes in the back of my head just in case I have to run" insane that in 2021 people still have to feel that way

I can’t believe this song didn’t win the Best Original Song award at the Oscars. It tells such a powerful _true story_ of enslaved people on their journey to freedom. A meaningful song with so much power, intensity, and deep emotion. it’s a wonderful tribute to Harriet Tubman as well. She was a true African-American hero and this song gives her so much justice.
Cynthia did a phenomenal job performing it at the Academy Awards, and I really wish the Academy had made a better decision. Regardless, “Stand Up” will always be the winner for me! 🏆

I just want to know why this song didn't win the Oscar? It's so perfect and powerful

It took me a minute to realize she is both the singer and the main actress of this film. My Lawd, how talented. She is in a league so many can not claim.

[YouWillGetThereBuddy]

She is the main actress, the singer and co-writer of this masterpiece

Who's listening this amazing song in 2024?

[BrookNycole]

This shit has me crying. The song, her beautiful and powerful voice, the clips of the film. I just imagine the real Harriet Tubman hearing this song in her heart and mind while she fought and ran. The strength she had to lead our people to a new land and create our own freedom was so powerful for a BLACK WOMAN to do. It’s inspiring that she opened the doors for people like me and so many others to show us that we are capable of WHATEVER we put our minds to. Fight is in our blood, so is strength. Nothing can hold us back, not even when they try to.

And good Lord !!! Cynthia’s voice makes it all the more beautiful.. it’s crazy how amazing she can sing. CRAZY

"I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU". were the last words of Harriet Tubman!

I am from Georgia. I am not black, but I cry when I listen to this song

[zowldei]

When she sings ' I go to prepare a place for you" That hit's me because it speaks volumes. Respect to Harriet Tubmen.

For those who don’t know “I go to prepare a place for you” was Harriet Tubman’s last words before she died of pneumonia

*"I HEAR FREEDOM CALLING!"*
That part hits me every time🥹

[rawrpunzel]

I'm not black, but this song hits me right in the soul. Racism is so unneccecary and I hope everybody will stand up for everyone who is facing oppression. We stand with you ❤

[KassieRancey]

I'm not even black, but everytime I hear this song I get emotional. Nothing will give justice to their past if we don't change the patterns in the present.

[ayandajewison]

I'm a black young women who's experienced the worst and this song brings so much power and tears because I hear my ancestors singing with her❤

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 ❤❤❤❤

[catelyn]

This song made me tear up. Can’t imagine how hard and difficult it must have been back in the days for black people. They didn’t deserve to be treated like that.
