WEBVTT - I Will "Stand Up"

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:04.559
<v Speaker 1>Get your right, m right with me, and get excited

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>about your lives. In life, you have to choose to

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>be great. It's not something that is by happenstance. You

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>have to declare. And I'm reminded of that when I

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>was listening to this track by Jasmine Sullivan. It's entitled

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>stand Up, and it's from the soundtrack from the film

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Till about Emmett Till. And I want you to declare

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>that I will stand up. See half the time we

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>don't stand up because we are afraid of who we are.

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>But I implore you to show up as you are,

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>how you are right now and it. She says, I

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>used to hide from the light. I was coward, too

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>ashamed to be me, so afraid of my power. The

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>one day Mama said I got something to offer. Just

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>look in the mirror to see it now. I what's

0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 1>up to you to believe it? Do you believe? Will

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>you say you are? She goes on to say, what

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>is your reason? What is you fighting for? I see

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:13.039
<v Speaker 1>you searching? Do you believe in yourself? Because ain't nobody

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.479
<v Speaker 1>else who can do what you do? Someone's counting on you.

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever thought that person could be you to

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>fill out all of your dreams, all of your aspirations,

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 1>and let alone you can inspire somebody else to be great.

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>So I want you to declare, I will stand up.
