Lyrics: Brand New Heavies. Brother Sister.

Stand up my brother
Stand up my sister
Stand up my brother
Stand up my sister

Don't you let your young life get you down
It always had a certain mystery
Many changes come to everyone
About the time that they turn seventeen

Grandma said, at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said, hold onto your faith
'Cause in this world you've got to go and get yours

So you stand up be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

There's no need to feel you're on your own
Just let your intuition guide you through
Take one step toward what you believe
Don't be afraid to make your move

In my head those words remind me
What Grandma said, at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said, hold on to your faith, don't be scared go out there

Just stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Don't be scared go out there, just stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up my brother, stand up my sister
Stand up my brother, stand up my sister

So you stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up my brother, stand up my sister
Stand up my brother, stand up my sister

To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own

To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own

To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own
