By Rootsman
Arranged by Carl Beaver Henderson & Levi John
Album: Stand Up and Face It | LPS | T&T 1981

Along the road of life, man really have to fight
Because the break you want just don't come overnight
You got to stick the grind, keep at it all the time
No matter wey they try, don't let them blow your mind

So if your house burn down [Stand up and face it.]
If you woman gone [Stand up and face it.]
Friend, don't give up and run [Stand up and face it.]
And in the end, my friend, you bound to make it

Some people try their best, friend, just to fight you down
You must withstand the test and show them that you strong
For by the help of Jah, my friend, you must conquer
There is no barrier to hold a warrior

So if you lost your job [Stand up and face it.]
If you just get rob [Stand up and face it.]
Friend, don't sit down and sob [Stand up and face it.]
And in the end, my friend, you bound to make it.

Stand up and face it, stand up and face it
Stand up and face it, you bound to make it.

If you are weak at heart, you fail before you start
So if your milk throw way, don't bother cry 'bout dat
It have more milk out dey, step forward, don't look back
Shake up yourself, I say, and make a brand new start.

So if your car mash up [Stand up and face it.]
If you gone bankrupt [Stand up and face it.]
Don't let that pack you up [Stand up and face it.]
And in the end, my friend, you bound to make it.

Let every newborn day bring on a fresh spirit
So don't sit down, I say, get up and get with it
No mountain is too high for you to climd my friend
For determination bring success in the end

So if they cut your dread [Stand up and face it.]
And make you a bald head [Stand up and face it.]
Once they ent kill you dead [Stand up and face it.]
And in the end, my friend, you bound to make it.

[Stand up and face it.....]
