It's taking all your might
To get over all this strife
Don't let them tell you how to treat your life

But as sunshine brings the day
And the darkness starts to fade
Won't you stand up, rebel

Won't you show them you know how

[Chorus]

Won't you rise up
Won't you rise up
Won't you rise up

Baby, it's a revolution

Calling out to you

Stand up for what is true
Don't be afraid to fight
You gotta stand up for your right, yeah


I'm calling out to you
Stand up for what is true

Don't be afraid to fight
You gotta stand up for your right


[Chorus]
Won't you rise up
Won't you rise up

Won't you rise up
Baby, it's a revolution
Won't you rise up

Won't you rise up
Won't you rise up
Baby, it's a revolution


It's taking all your might
To get over all this strife

Don't let them tell you how to treat your life
But as sunshine brings the day
And the darkness starts to fade

Won't you stand up, rebel
Won't you show them you know how


We'll rise up
Whoa - stand up
Whoa - rise up, rebel

Show them you know how

[Chorus]

Won't you rise up
Won't you rise up
Won't you rise up

Baby, it's a revolution
Won't you rise up
Won't you rise up

Won't you rise up
Baby, it's a revolution


Whoa, whoa, yeah

Calling out to you

Stand up for what is true
Don't be afraid to fight
Baby, it's a revolution
