Oh, I'll stand up for myself, and what I believe in,
I'll stand up for myself, and for my rights, too.
Yes, I'll stand up for myself, and what I believe in,
and I'll do it in a way that respects your rights, too.
DO-do-DO-do-DO-do-do-DO!
I can take charge of my life; that's one thing I believe in,
I can take charge of my life; it's my right to do.
I will take charge of my life---and I'll be glad that I did it!
It's not only my right, it's my responsibility, too.
DO-do-DO-do-DO-do-do-DO!
You can take charge of your life, and stand up for what you believe in,
You can take charge of your life; it's your right to do.
You can take charge of your life---you'll be glad that you did it.
It's not only your right; it's your responsibility, too.
DO-do-DO-do-DO-do-do-DO!
So...
We'll stand up for ourselves and what we believe in,
We'll stand up for ourselves and for our rights, too.
Yes, we'll stand up for ourselves and what we believe in,
and we'll do it in a way that respects others' rights, too.
DO-do-DO-do-DO-do-do-DO!
