歌词
Well, I know, you've been searching
for a long, long time
and I know, what you're thinking,
I can read your mind.
You're lost and you're lonely,
you can't find peace of mind,
you're waiting for answers,
you're just wasting time.
Stand up, reach for the sky,
don't let your spirit die.
Stand up, reach for the sky,
don't let your spirit die.
Your life is uncertain,
future's looking dim,
well I'm not the fill in,
it's a crying shame.
You're lost and you're lonely,
you can't find peace of mind,
you're waiting for answers,
you're just wasting time.
Stand up, reach for the sky,
don't let your spirit die.
Stand up, reach for the sky,
don't let your spirit die.
Stand up, reach for the sky,
don't let your spirit die.
Stand up, reach for the sky,
don't let your spirit die.
Stand up, stand up,
stand up, stand up,
stand up, stand up,
stand up, stand up,
stand up, stand up,
stand up, stand up,
stand up, stand up,
stand up, stand up.
Stand up, reach for the sky,
don't let your spirit die.
Stand up, reach for the sky,
don't let your spirit die.
Stand up, reach for the sky,
don't let your spirit die.
Stand up, reach for the sky,
don't let your spirit die.

多添一点：今天分享一首 Delegation(代表团乐团）的《Stand Up (Reach for the Sky)》
Delegation灵魂乐团于1976年由Len Coley，Roddy Harris和Rick Bailey在英国伯明翰建立，三人共同担任主唱。Rick Bailey是乐队的主心骨。三人组很快就被传奇音乐制作人兼词曲作家Ken Gold（肯·戈尔德）发现，Ken创作并制作了《You to Me Are Everything》和《Can’t Get By Without You》等热门歌曲。
1976年，代表团发行了他们的第一支单曲《The Promise Of Love》，取自他们的首张同名专辑，并由州唱片公司发行。不幸的是，这首单曲并没有像预期的那样成功，但他们的第二首单曲《Where Is the Love We Used To Know》发行之后，他们的运气才开始好转。这首单曲在1977年2月登上了排行榜，给了他们第一次大热，也因此，他们第一次登上了英国Top Of The Pops节目，这是当时最受欢迎的音乐电视节目。
Rick Bailey带领Delegation在70年代-90年代间让Soulful Funk（灵魂放克）对世界都有了影响，霸占了美国英国的好多榜单。
