Now when I was just a little child

Enrolled in elementary school

That big
'ol teacher

Would ask me a question

And I'd sit there

Trembling like a
fool

So I asked my daddy,

I said,
What's wrong with me?

He said, Son, if you
know the answer

This is how it's got to
be

He said



CHORUS:

You've got to stand up

And be counted

You've got to raise your hand

And let
them call your name

You've got to stand
up

If you want to be counted

Lift
your voice

And don't ever be ashamed



The next day at school

The
teacher asked a question

And she shot a
look my way

And I stood right up

And
I said, Teacher

There's something

That I've got to say

You know the grass
below is green

And the sky above is blue

And Columbus found this country

In
1492



You need to stand up

And
be counted

You've got to raise your hand

And just let them call your name

You've
got to stand up

If you want to be
counted

Lift your voice

And don't
ever be ashamed



Now I believe the
Lord

He's looking for someone

Who's
gonna stand up

For the Church

And he
wants you to stand up

On the street

And where you go to school

And where you
go to work

And in a world filled with
darkness

That's surrounded by the night

Someone needs to stand up for Jesus

And
start to shine that Light



We need to
stand up

And be counted

We need to
raise our hands

And start to praise His
matchless Name

We need to stand up

If
we want to be counted

Lift your voice

And don't ever, ever, ever

Be ashamed-
