When I’m weary from travelin both hands to the plow My devils are tryin to turn me around I aint quittin or givin up I must confess It’s hard but I’m tryin my best If you can hear me sing along Lift up your head and raise your hands Open up your eyes to the needy ones Wake up O’ sleeper it’s time to do your best We gotta stand out stand out from the rest I’ve got foes in Heaven and friends in hell That’s what my daddy taught me as well Well I’m just an old blind man when my eyes are on me Sweet Jesus please help me to see If you can hear me sing along Lift up your head and raise your hands Open up your eyes to the needy ones Wake up O’ sleeper it’s time to do your best We gotta stand out stand out from the rest Stand out...oh you know that’s how we gotta live Stand out from the rest Stand out...just like ones that came before us did Stand out from the rest Lift up your head and raise your hands Open up your eyes to the needy ones Wake up O’ sleeper it’s time to do your best We gotta stand out stand out from the rest Stand out...oh you know that’s how we gotta live Stand out from the rest Stand out...just like ones that came before us did Stand out from the rest
