I and I have got to wipe I weeping eye, ah down inna Babylon, yah!
Each and every man I say, have got a right, you know
To stand up and fight for his own ah right - yes!
Each and every man I say, have got a right, you know
To stand up and fight for his own ah right
For out of I and I, cometh all nations
For I and I and I was here way from creation
Do you ever see a black rose in a white garden?
I will stand up, like the sons of a wretch in the way
An' a move like a roaring lion
To stand up for my brothers and sister rights
I will stand up an' fight, oh yea
To lightning and thunder an brimstone
To fight for my brothers rights in this time
In South Africa and anywhere
For out of I and I, cometh all nations, hey!
I and I and I was here way from creation
Do you ever see a black rose in a white garden? I
Read your book for me, I
(.)
Out of I and I, cometh all nations, I
I and I and I was here way from creation
Do you ever see a black rose in a white garden?
I will stand up, like a roaring lion, Lord
And fight for my sister and brothers rights
There in South Africa, yeah
And everywhere they fight against them
Like the spiritual weapon I'll be there
I will stand up, Lord
Like the sons of a wretch in the way, ah!
I will stand up, oh Lord
Old gratchnat wretch in the way
I will stand up, Lord like a roaring lion
Let me tell dem now
Like a roaring lion, hey
I will stand up for everyone's right
Even for the blind, hey!
Defended me, I stand for your right, ooh yeah
I will stand up, I will, I will
I know I am able, like the son of a wretched, hey
I will stand up for the people's right, oh yeah
I keep on chanting the sound, ooh yeah.
