Hey
Say whats happened to humanity
There's enough love for you, there's enough for me
A cup for you and a cup for me
Sharing the love, that's how it should be

Listen

In my raggy shirt and one pair of shoes
I tread along so confused
Mixed up illusions, lot of confusion
People building bombs, that's no solution
I say

Chorus
Stand up for your rights, brother man
Must be a way somehow, don't give up

Repeat chorus

Living in a city, surrounded by walls
So many stumbling blocks and pit falls
Can't afford to slip away, can't aslide
With the Lord on my side, how can I fall

Said I gotta stand up, said I gotta stand up for my right 2x

Say whats happened to humanity
There's enough love for you, there's enough for me
A cup for you and a cup for me
Sharing the love, that's how it should be

Sharing the love
A cup for you, a cup for me
Sharing the love, that's how it should be
A cup for you, a cup for me
Sharing the love, that's how it should be
Won't you stay
