Stand Up

Steve Millikan, Ray Boltz

Ooh...
Oh, yeah, yeah

Now, when I was just a little child
Enrolled in elementary school
That big ol' teacher
Would ask me a question
And I'd sit there trembling like a fool
So, I asked my daddy
I said, "What's wrong with me?"
He said, "Son, if you know the answer
This is how it's got to be"

He said, "You've got to stand up
(Stand up)
And be counted
(Lh, yeah)
You've got to raise your hand
(Raise your hand)
And let them call your name
(Let them call down to you)
You've got to stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
If you want to be counted
(Stand up, oh, yeah)
Lift your voice
And don't ever be ashamed"

(The next day)
The next day at school
The teacher asked a question
And she shot a look my way
And I stood right up and I said, "Teacher
There's something that I've got to say
You know the grass below is green
And the sky above is blue
And Columbus found this country in 1492"

You need to stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
And be counted
(Oh, yeah)
You've got to raise your hand
(Raise your hand, put 'em up)
And just let them call your name
(Let them call down on you)
You've got to stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
If you want to be counted
(Stand up, oh, yeah)
Lift your voice
And don't ever be ashamed

Now I believe the Lord
He's looking for someone
Who's gonna stand up for the Church
And he wants you to stand up on the street
And where you go to school
And where you go to work
And in a world filled with darkness
That's surrounded by the night
Someone needs to stand up for Jesus
And start to shine that Light

We need to stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
And be counted
(Oh, yeah)
We need to raise our hands
(Raise your hands, praise, praise)
And start to praise His matchless Name
(Praise, praise, well, well, well, well)
We need to stand up
(Stand up, stand up)
If we want to be counted
(Stand up, oh, yeah)
Lift your voice
And don't ever, ever, ever be ashamed
