Music Monday Song Pick: Get Up, Stand Up: Dedicated to the Standing Rock Protesters

December 12, 2016 Loveley

Hi folks, it's been a while since we've had a Music Monday song pick!  Been super busy with the Feel Good (Do Good) Holiday Gift Guides, but now I'm back with a good song for you.  Often, as you know, I pick a favorite Lana song (thought I've included other stuff as well), but this week, the song pick is dedicated to the protesters, Native American and not, at Standing Rock, that were trying to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. If you want to keep up with the latest developments on that, you can click here.

It's good to know that the power of protest still works, and that there are people that are still willing to stand up for what they believe in.  So, today's pick is Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up". I have included the lyrics below the video.  Enjoy!

 

Bob Marley - Get up, stand up 1980 Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight! Preacher man, don't tell me, Heaven is under the earth.

Lyrics:

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

Preacher man, don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know
What life is really worth
It's not all that glitters is gold
'Alf the story has never been told
So now you see the light, eh
Stand up for your rights, come on

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

Most people think
Great God will come from the skies
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You will look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
You stand up for your rights, jah

Get up, stand up (Jah, Jah)
Stand up for your rights (oh-hoo)
Get up, stand up (get up, stand up)
Don't give up the fight (life is your right)
Get up, stand up (so we can't give up the fight)
Stand up for your right (Lord, Lord)
Get up, stand up (keep on struggling on)
Don't give up the fight (yeah)

We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, Lord
We know when we understand
Almighty God is a living man
You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light (what you gonna do?)
We gonna stand up for our rights (yeah, yeah, yeah)

So you better
Get up, stand up (in the morning, git it up)
Stand up for your rights (stand up for our rights)
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight (don't give it up, don't give it up)
Get up, stand up (get up, stand up)
Stand up for your rights (get up, stand up)
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight (get up, stand up)
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
