Al Green - Stand Up lyrics

Stand up everybody, stand up
Think it's time to stand
Up and identify yourself
Stand up and identify yourself

What's your name, what's the nature
Of the game, who you are
How far you come, where have you been
Hey yeah

Stand up, you've been promised just one day
And that's today
Stand up, no sense sleeping your life away
Ay

Where you going, what's your plan
If you a loser or a winning man
Tell me now, I wanna know
You've got to let the glory show

Hey, stand up hey hey hey everybody
Stand up, gotta stand up right now
Hey, stand up, tomorrow's about to come
Are you ready?
Stand up, today's got you on the run, hey

Keep it steady, don't fall down on your face
And let someone take your place
'Cause you oughta know, you can do it
Tell me that there's nothing to it
Where you going, what do you know
Did you're friends tell you so
Can you make it by yourself
With the strength that you have left
Why don't you give me your hand
I'll try my best to understand
I don't know about goodbye
But nothing fails but a try

Hey, stand up, everybody, hey hey hey
When you're lonely, why don't you stand up
Everybody hey hey hey oh baby
If you wanna help somebody, stand up today
Stand up today, stand up today oh oh
Feel like you've only been promised today
You might as well stand up, everybody
