Eric Donaldson Sings 20 Jamaica Classics

0

[Verse 1]
I know I can let it know
The dark clouds are all gone
A new day is dawning
And I have to got to keep on moving

[Chorus]
Why can't you all stand up?
Stand up, stand up, stand up, fight for your rights
Why can't you all stand up?
Stand up, stand up, stand up, fight for your rights

[Verse 2]
You can't judge a book by the cover
Just turn the pages and read
Don't try to make me over
Come, come satisfy all your needs

[Chorus]
Why can't you all stand up?
Stand up, stand up, stand up, fight for your rights
Why can't you all stand up?
Stand up, stand up, stand up, fight for your rights

[Verse 3]
Don't you shed no tears for me
Don't you cry no more
Don't you worry about me now
Everything is alright

[Chorus]
But everything is alright, everything is alright
Everything is just fine with me

[Verse 4]
Don't you shed no tears for me
Don't you cry no more
Don't you worry about me now
Everything is alright

[Outro]
I said that everything is alright, everything is alright
Everything is just fine with me, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Everything is alright, everything is alright
Everything is just fine with me
Everything is alright, everything is alright
Everything is just fine with me
Everything is alright, everything is alright
