Ebenezer Dance Ministry captured the wrenching SURVIVAL of our people through slavery...and through the years of Jim Crow. While the narrative focuses on Harriett Tubman’s story, the lyrics for “Stand Up (Harriett) remind us that in America there is a fight for freedom ~ daily!
Stand Up (Harriett)
I been walkin'
With my face turned to the sun
Weight on my shoulders
A bullet in my gun
Oh, I got eyes in the back on my head
Just in case I have to run
I do what I can when I can while I can for my people
While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night
That's when I'm gonna stand up
Take my people with me
Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on
I can feel it in my bones
