lyrics

STAND UP
Key ‘C’

Many people don’t understand - What it’s like to live on the land
When the ground is hot, there is no rain - And all you feel is pain
Many people don’t sympathize - With those who try to survive
Stretching their dollar as far as it will go - Not knowing what will happen tomorrow

It’s the same with people in every town - Be it timber, gold or wheat
Grapes, iron ore, cattle, coal, small business or sheep
We’re all really the same - When our industry dies down
We all feel the pinch, but who do you tell
Its time to stand up and shout

CHORUS - COME ON PEOPLE STAND UP
Its time to fight for what you believe in
COME ON PEOPLE STAND UP
Before you loose all you’ve got
OH COME ON PEOPLE STAND UP
Believe in your country, it’ll give you so much
OH COME ON PEOPLE STAND UP
YEAH COME ON PEOPLE STAND UP
OH COME ON PEOPLE STAND UP
Stand up

We see it around us every dad - Families are feeling the squeeze
What hope do we have for our children - When the country is on it’s knees
We must reach out with both hands - Work like the pioneers of old
Catch the vision, the future is bright - It’s time to stand up and fight.

Chorus X 2
