Lyrics The Overtones – Stand Up

Way back when I was a child
I remember what my mama told me (she said)
Don’t let no one bring you down
I can hear her tellin me now,

Keep on, keepin on
Stay strong, won’t be long
It gets better now
You’ll f‌ind your way somehow
You just gotta believe

Stand up
You’ve gotta shout it out
Make a sound
Nothing’s gonna stop you now
Stand up
You’ve gotta shout it out
Make a sound
Nothing’s gonna stand in your way.

Hold up, take my advice
Opportunity she don’t knock twice
Don’t end up with nothing to show
Take your chance and GO GO GO

Keep on, keepin on
Stay strong, won’t be long
It gets better now
You’ll f‌ind your way somehow
You just gotta believe

Stand up
You’ve gotta shout it out
Make a sound
Nothing’s gonna stop you now

No one else but yourself’s gonna make this work for you
Don’t you see, take it from me
Have a little faith, it’ll make you stronger.

Stand up
Shout it out
Make a sound
Nothing’s gonna stop you now

Stand up
Shout it out
Make a sound
Nothing’s gonna stop you now

Stand up
You’ve gotta shout it out
Make a sound
Nothing’s gonna stop you now
Stand up
You’ve gotta shout it out
Make a sound
Nothing’s gonna stand in your way.
