There's a waking of a rainbow dawn
And the sun will rise up high
There's a whisper in the morning light
Saying get up and meet the day

Well, inside my mind there is a tribal voice
And it's speaking to me every day
And all I have to do is to make a choice
'Cause I know there is no other way

All the people in the world are dreaming (get up, stand up)
Some of us cry, cry, cry for the rights of survival now (get up, stand up)
Saying c'mon, c'mon, stand up for your rights (get up, stand up)
While others don't give a damn
They're all waiting for a perfect day
So you better get up and fight for your rights
Don't be afraid of the move you make
You better listen to your tribal voice

All the people in the world are dreaming (get up, stand up)
Some of us cry, cry, cry for the rights of survival now (get up, stand up)
Saying c'mon, c'mon, stand up for your rights (get up, stand up)
While others don't give a damn
They're all waiting for a perfect day
You better get up and fight for your rights
Don't be afraid of the move you make
You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice

Well I wonder if it's part of history
Full of influence and mystery
From the spirits of my people
Who have just gone before
Into future of another day

All the people in the world are dreaming (get up, stand up)
Some of us cry, cry, cry for the rights of survival now (get up, stand up)
Saying c'mon, c'mon, stand up for your rights (get up, stand up)
While others don't give a damn
They are all waiting for a perfect day
You better get up and fight for your rights
Don't be afraid of the move that you make
You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice (get up, stand up)
You better listen to your tribal voice (get up, stand up)
You better listen to your tribal voice (get up, stand up)
You better listen to your tribal voice (get up, stand up)
You better listen to your tribal voice (get up, stand up)
