The cracks in the pavement are starting to show
The price of existence continues to grow
They're selling a story that we don't believe
With nothing but holes on the end of our sleeve
The clowns on high never mention our name
Just moving the pieces in a high-stakes game
They draw a new line for us all to discover
And tell us all not to trust one another
Oh, oh, oh, I am standing up!
Oh, oh, oh, I have had enough!
Of the screen's steady glow to the sweat on my brow
My time isn't later, my time is now!
But a seed of a promise is down in the dirt
A feeling of healing for all of the hurt
A current is building in our flesh and our bone
Reminding us all that we are not alone
A voice in the city, a text from a friend
A promise this brokenness has soon got to end
The tide is now turning, you can feel the command
When we each start taking each other's hand
Oh, oh, oh, you're standing up!
Oh, oh, oh, you've had enough!
From your screen's steady glow to the sweat on your brow
Your time isn't later, your time is now!
So I look to the people who are holding the line
Their struggle is different, but their hope is like mine
Don't send them a prayer, lend a hand you can give
And fight for a future we all want to live
Get out on the streets and get out on the floor
And knock on your leader's illegally locked door
Don't turn on the feed and just scroll it away
It's our turn to speak, and the time is today
They'll call you a color, a coast, or a creed
To make you forget we all spring from one seed
It's not left or right more like down and up
But when we all come together, we all get a cup
A cup full of justice, a cup full of peace
A cup for our future, a final release
From the chains of the old way, the fear and the doubt
Hear the voice of the people beginning to shout!
Oh, oh, oh, we're standing up!
Oh, oh, oh, we've had enough!
From our screen's steady glow to the sweat on our brows
Our time isn't later, our time is NOW!
We all rise up!
We all get a cup!
