Pick yourself up
Pick yourself up
Pick yourself up
Now what would your ancestors do
What would the warriors male and female
who fought oppression and drove out
their enemies do in this situation
Pick yourself up
Pick yourself up
Pick yourself up
Turn your tears into strength
Turn your fears into joy
Turn your hurt into strength
Turn your misgivings into joy
Pick yourself up now
Pick yourself up now
Pick yourself up now
You're from kings and queens
you cannot accept defeat
Your people need a strong leader
full of wisdom and full of power
Full of intuition and full of decisions
Pick yourself up now
Pick yourself up now
Pick yourself up now
Hear all that is within you
Hear those who stand besides you
Hear those who are for you
Overwhelming those who are against you
There you go pick yourself up
There you are pick yourself up
There you go right on
And achieve your goals
Achieve your achievements
Outdo yourself and become something
You are a winner, you are the head
You are an overcomer, you are a champion
Right on, Right on, Right on Amen
