TOGETHER WE CAN STAND UP
Released January 28, 2021
Together We Can Stand Up
Brenda MacIntyre, Medicine Song Woman featuring
Errol Starr Francis and Nenookaasi
“Together We Can Stand Up” began to pour through me in July 2020 when I was feeling drained from all the hatred and separation I kept seeing during the pandemic. It’s connected to a vision I had many years ago. I saw the crumbling of current society as a dark mist, and myself and others were (and these are the words spoken to me from Spirit) “coming up underneath it all” creating positive change. My producer Errol Starr Francis came on board to help co-write, arrange and produce this single as well as be featured in it.
Big thanks to Colette Baron-Reid and Nenookaasi for your gorgeous vocals on this track!
Blessings,
Brenda

Lyrics
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Create a better future, create a better future
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Stand up for each other, stand up for each other
We keep hearing how we’re all in this together
We need to love ourselves, and care about each other
Discrimination is how we tear each other down
We are all relations, together on sacred ground
We can all be free
If only we remember, if only we remember
Who we are and who we can be
We’re powerful together
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Create a better future, create a better future
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Stand up for each other, stand up for each other
Even though we’re not the same we all have our gifts to share
So reach for higher ground, let your spirit take you there
Like a nightmare, it’s time to shake ourselves awake
Let’s lift each other higher and gather in the eye of the storm
We can all be free
If only we remember, if only we remember
Who we are and who we can be
We’re powerful together
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Create a better future, create a better future
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Stand up for each other, Stand up for each other
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Create a better future, create a better future
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Stand up for each other, Stand up for each other
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh ay-ay-ay-ay
Life is here for you, remember you’re a blessing
Do what lights you up, that’s how we get to freedom
Let’s take a new direction emerging from this sacred prayer, if only we remember
Let our inner fire rise up, we’re powerful together
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Create a better future, create a better future
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Stand up for each other, Stand up for each other
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Create a better future, create a better future
Together we can stand up, oh-oh-oh
Stand up for each other, Stand up for each other
Together we can stand up
