There's a wakening 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
Inside my mind there's a tribal voice
And it's speaking to me every day
And all i have to do is to make a choice
Because i know there is no other way
All the people in the world are dreaming
Get up stand up
Some of us cry for rights of survival now
Get up stand up
Say c'mon stand up for your rights
While others don't give a damn
Tey'all waiting for a perfect day
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
Well i wonder if it's part of history
Full of influential mystery
From the spirits of my people
Who have just gone before
To the future of another day
You better listen to your tribal voice
