The Burroughs - We Got to Stand Lyrics

What'd you say?
Oh lord I cannot believe
Every word that comes out of your mouth sounds like hate
Well tell me please
Do you want to be alone
Or will you stand with me and for freedom will you sing
Let me hear you now

Sing it for your brother
Sing it for your father
Your sister and your mother

What'd you say?
That it's not your place to act
And someone else will do it better if we wait
Well we don't have time
We've got to stand for those who can't
A voice crying for the weak, singing for those who can't speak
Let me hear you now

Sing it for your brother
Sing it for your mother now
Your sister and your father
Gotta sing it now

A voice crying for the weak
For those who can't speak

We got to stand
Each man and woman of the land
We got to live for this life again
We got to stand
Each man and woman of the land
We got to live for this life again

Sing it for your mother
Sing it for your father now
Your sister and your brother
Oh sing for one another
Got to sing it now

We got to stand
Each man and woman of the land
We got to live for this life again
We got to stand
Each man and woman of the land
We got to live for this life again
