LYRIC

STAND UP- Miami Boys Choir- Composed By Yerachmiel Begun- Stand Up

Their hearts are getting colder
And their fight is getting bolder
And determined they continue the war.
They want to free our nation
Of the Torah obligation
Our legacy- they choose to ignore.
They don’t understand who we are
And don’t see what brought us this far
The sting of their voices is felt throughout our land.

So many gave us trouble
And they turned our lives to rubble
They were setting our history’s tone.
It wasn’t always strangers
Who created all these dangers
Oh so often it was one of our own.
Today this is still what we find
A threat of a spiritual kind
Oh how can we make our brothers understand.

Chorus:
Stand up! Stand up!
Let’s come together- our chances are better if we
Stand up! Stand strong!
We can be prouder- we must say it louder
That our faith we will not surrender
Let’s take a stand for what’s right!
We gotta Stand up! Stand up!
Let’s show our brother we believe in no other when we
Stand up! Stand tall!
As Am Hashem we’re ready again
To be the only Torah defender
Let’s here our voices unite!
Stand up!

The culture that surrounds us
Just continues to confound us
Oh so steady in its shocking descent.
And as the tide gets higher
Our fight becomes so dire
Must be active to a greater extent.
We see some among us are drawn
Can we lead their souls to the dawn
What must we do to preserve His holy name?

We must reverse direction
And restrengthen our connection
With the sages who have honored our past.
And humbly must be going
On their righteous path of growing
So united with a peace that will last.
True Kiruv will then really start
Our words can now enter their heart
We’ll pass on the spark of our bright eternal flame!

Chorus:
We gotta Stand up! Stand up!
Let’s come together- our chances are better if we
Stand up! Stand strong!
We can be prouder- we must say it louder
That our faith we will not surrender
Let’s take a stand for what’s right!
We gotta Stand up! Stand up!
Let’s show our brother we believe in no other when we
Stand up! Stand tall!
As Am Hashem we’re ready again
To be the only Torah defender
Let’s here our voices unite!
Stand up!
