Stand Up Lyrics by John McCutcheon

Stand Up! Broadsides for Our Times

0

Let us tell again the stories
Of the ones who set this world aflame
The ones who rose tall, the great and the small
America remembers their names
We saw a world of new horizons
We saw a world of hearts and hands
Each joined in the fight, the power and might
Were gathered from across this land (to)

Chorus
Stand up for our family
Stand up
Stand up for America
Stand up
We got to stand

We are the ones who answer
When America calls out her name
Together we come, united as one
We rise again and again
We are the ones who labor
We are the ones who care
We are the ones, the daughters and sons
We are the ones who dare (to)

Chorus

Come and feel a new world rising
Come and heed a brand new call
It echoes our past and it's coming on fast
Reaching out to one and all
From our parents to our children
All across this mighty land
As the future draws near, our vision is clear
Side by side and hand in hand (we're gonna)

Chorus

We stand for good jobs, fight for good wages, we are the ones (Stand up!)
For health and safety, speaking one strong voice, we are the ones (Stand up!)
We are the dreamers, we are the long haul, we are the ones (Stand up!)
We are the neighbors, we are the family, we are the ones (Stand up!)
We are the workers, we are America, we are the ones (Stand up!)
We are the future, we are the Union, we are the ones (Stand up!)
