[male vocals] Verse 1 (0:25 - 0:50)
The
alarm
clock
rings
before
the
sun
can
riseWiping
away
the
tiredness
from
our
heavy
eyesThe
weight
of
the
world
is
sitting
on
our
chestBut
a
man
doesn't
stop,
a
man
doesn't
rest.
The
Creator
built
our
shoulders
to
bear
the
heavy
loadTo
clear
the
thickest
brush
and
pave
a
smoother
roadWe
are
the
anchors
when
the
stormy
waters
rollGuarding
the
family,
protecting
the
soul.
Pre-Chorus (0:50 - 1:02)
Don't
you
bow
your
head,
don't
you
yield
to
the
fearLook
at
your
children,
look
at
those
you
hold
dearThe
Maker
didn't
build
you
to
break
under
stressHe
gave
you
the
power
to
conquer
and
bless.
Chorus (1:02 - 1:28)
Stand
up
strong,
brother,
stand
up
on
your
feet!
God
made
the
man
so
the
problem
meets
defeat!
Work
with
your
hands,
let
the
sweat
start
to
fallWe
gotta
answer
when
our
families
call.
Put
a
smile
on
their
faces,
put
food
on
the
plateLet's
celebrate
the
victory,
it
is
never
too
late!
Oh,
celebrate!
The
victory
is
won!
Verse 2 (1:28 - 1:53)
It’
s
not
about
the
money,
it’
s
about
the
heart
you
bringBeing
the
solution,
provider,
and
the
kingWhen
the
roof
starts
leaking
or
the
cupboards
are
bareA
real
man
stands
up,
he
is
always
right
there.
Sharpen
your
mind,
let
your
vision
be
clearWe
are
chasing
the
shadows
away
from
this
sphereWith
faith
in
our
steps
and
a
fire
in
our
driveWe
don't
just
survive,
we
make
everyone
thrive.
Pre-Chorus (1:53 - 2:05)
Don't
you
bow
your
head,
don't
you
yield
to
the
fearLook
at
your
children,
look
at
those
you
hold
dearThe
Maker
didn't
build
you
to
break
under
stressHe
gave
you
the
power
to
conquer
and
bless.
Chorus (2:05 - 2:31)
Stand
up
strong,
brother,
stand
up
on
your
feet!
God
made
the
man

the
problem
meets
defeat!
Work
with
your

Bridge (2:31 - 3:00)(
The
heavy
drums
drop
out,
leaving
an
energetic
acoustic
guitar
pluck
and
handclaps)
To
every
husband,
every
father,
every
brother
in
the
fightKeep
pushing
forward,
we
are
moving
to
the
lightWe
pour
out
our
lives
just
to
see
them
smileAnd
every
single
sacrifice
is
completely
worthwhile.(
The
drum
beat
builds
rapidly,
local
percussion
taking
over...)
Lift
your
hands
up
high,
the
breakthrough
is
here!
Guitar
Solo /
Instrumental
Break (3:00 - 3:22)(
A
joyous,
cascading
African
lead
guitar
melody
plays
a
triumphant
anthem
over
a
driving
Afro-pop
dance
beat)
Chorus (3:22 - 3:48)
Stand
up
strong,
brother,
stand
up
on
your
feet!
God
made
the
man
so
the
problem
meets
defeat!
Work
with
your
hands,
let
the
sweat
start
to
fall
We
gotta
answer
when
our
families
call.
Put
a
smile
on
their
faces,
put
food
on
the
plateLet's
celebrate
the
victory,
it
is
never
too
late!
Oh,
celebrate!
The
victory
is
won!
Outro (3:48 - 4:15)
We
are
the
fixers.
We
are
the
builders.
Victory
is
ours
tonight.
See
the
family
smiling,
yeah,
we
did
it
right.
Celebrate!
Celebrate
the
win!(
The
beat
stops
completely
on
a
massive
drum
hit,
leaving
a
final,
echoing
acoustic
guitar
chord
that
fades
away)
