stand up - heather mae lyrics

go ahead and walk in my boots for a minute
and tell me how easy it is to stay silent
walking home to your babies and you see those flashing lights
mama always said it’s not safe for a black man to walk at night

go ahead and walk in my heels for a minute
and tell me how easy it is to just forget it
cause they say it’s your fault for dressing like you do
but ignore the good man who left you black and blue

till the end of the hurt
till the last lesson learned
i will wreck my voice
i’ll be heard through the noise
i will stand my ground until i see the end
and you would too if you’d been where i’d been

go ahead and walk in my shoes for a minute
and tell me how easy it is to grin and bear it
when the ones you love the most close the door on you and shun
cause a 4,000 year old book is more important than their son

go ahead and walk with my bare feet for a minute
and tell me how easy it is to accept it
when everything you’ve ever known has turned to soot and ash
a war you had no hand in
took everything you had
how does it feel
when the world turns its back?
till the end of the hurt
till the last lesson learned
i will wreck my voice
i’ll be heard through the noise
i will stand my ground until i see the end
and you would too if you’d been where i’d been

stand up, won’t you?
stand up, won’t you?
won’t you stand up?
