    I'm not even black, but everytime I hear this song I get emotional. Nothing will give justice to their past if we don't change the patterns in the present.

      Lemme reword my comment. I agree with everyone who replied and you, we may not me black, but we support anyone who is. I myself have a lot of black friends, and I accept them, to quote MLK (RIP), not by the color or their skin, but by the content of their character.

    I can’t believe this song didn’t win the Best Original Song award at the Oscars. It tells such a powerful _true story_ of enslaved people on their journey to freedom. A meaningful song with so much power, intensity, and deep emotion. it’s a wonderful tribute to Harriet Tubman as well. She was a true African-American hero and this song gives her so much justice.
    Cynthia did a phenomenal job performing it at the Academy Awards, and I really wish the Academy had made a better decision. Regardless, “Stand Up” will always be the winner for me! 🏆

    I been walkin'
    With my face turned to the sun
    Weight on my shoulders
    A bullet in my gun
    Oh, I got eyes in the back of my head
    Just in case I have to run
    I do what I can when I can while I can for my people
    While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night
    … That's when I'm gonna stand up
    Take my people with me
    Together we are going
    To a brand new home
    Far across the river
    Can you hear freedom calling?
    Calling me to answer
    Gonna keep on keepin' on
    I can feel it in my bones
    … Early in the mornin'
    Before the sun begins to shine
    We're gonna start movin'
    Towards that separating line
    I'm wadin' through muddy waters
    You know I got a made up mind
    And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation
    And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die
    … So I'm gonna stand up
    Take my people with me
    Together we are going
    To a brand new home
    Far across the river
    Can you hear freedom calling?
    Calling me to answer
    Gonna keep on keepin' on
    … And I know what's around the bend
    Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone
    And I just might fail
    But Lord knows I tried
    Sure as stars fill up the sky
    … Stand up
    Take my people with me
    Together we are going
    To a brand new home
    Far across the river
    Can you hear freedom calling?
    Calling me to answer
    Gonna keep on keepin' on
    … I'm gonna stand up
    Take my people with me
    Together we are going
    To a brand new home
    Far across the river
    Do you hear freedom calling?
    Calling me to answer
    Gonna keep on keepin' on
    … I'm gonna stand up
    Take my people with me
    Together we are going
    To a brand new home
    Far across the river
    I hear freedom calling
    Calling me to answer
    Gonna keep on keepin' on
    I can feel it in my bones
    … I go to prepare a place for you
    I go to prepare a place for you
    I go to prepare a place for you

    I listened to this song everyday my first semester of nursing school….. I digested every word.
    “Early in the morning, before the sun begins to shine… I’m going to start moving toward that separating line…” after hearing that line I got up at 4-5 am most mornings and made it to school before the sun shined! I was mostly the first one to just sit and wait in the parking lot (for the campus to open) studying! and I made it y’all! I passed my first semester!!!
    “You know I got a made up mind
    And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation
    And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die.” My home was literally hit with an E3-E4 tornado while I was in it. I went to the ER, the next day I went to CLINICAL! Like Harriet I refused to give up!

    This song gives me more motivation to help my people more. I’m anishinaabe(indigenous) from Canada and i advocate for our youth that struggle with mental health in reserves, while also being a youth myself, a 15 year old. There was times that I wanted to give up but I told myself that the people that gave me up, that gave all of us up made us feel really awful, like we were the problem. I didn’t want to project that and stood up. Im an advocate for them now and currently im fighting for better programs for the youth that love on reserve and fighting with our school division for more implements of our culture into school.

      The song shouldnt be used for other bad situations, though. It takes away the actual meaning of the song which is about black people being used as slaves before, so if a female on tiktok uses this sound behind her talking about s*xual assault it isn't right cause viewers won't focus on the meaning of the sound she's using. But I'm not saying the s*xual assault thing isn't important. :)

And its beyond shameful that we couldn't ALL live & love as GOD OUR CREATOR wanted us to! Love, peace, respect, integrity, morals, values & the list could go on & on.

This song is so so so beautiful and the way she sings with so much emotion absolutely moves my heart. I am so so sorry if you are a POC and have ever had to deal with racsism, your skin color does not define you as a human being or makes you any less of a person. Youre beautiful, youre brave, and youre sure as hell stronger than anyone i have ever met. To all my fellow white people or anyone who needs to hear this, we can help be part of the change, we can help them gain teh justice they oh so deeply deserve. We can help. Nothing will ever be able to fix all the damage thats already been done, but we can help with future damage.

      I love you and I don’t even know you, for you to feel like this shows that all people are not the same. I am 66 years old and I have never heard another race make a statement like this to people of color. When you said it makes you sick that’s true love of GOD appearing in a spiritual body that’s bound for the promised land. Don’t ever let anyone change who you are, just keep feeling like you do toward others.

      People don't want to hear the truth, it makes them look little they want to feel they are still more powerful than other races. I'm not picking on pastors, but until they use the pulpit to teach the truth, these people will continue to think what they do is right.
