The Wailers
Cheer Up
[Chorus]
Cheer up my brothers, cheer up my sisters
Cheer up my momma too, lord
Cheer up my father, let me say
I know it won't be long
That change has got to come
That change has got to come
And I know that it won't be long

[Verse 1]
We've been down in captivity (captivity) so long, so long
If we unite then we will be free (we will be free)
So strong, so strong, come I want you to

[Chorus]
Cheer up my (brothers) my sisters
(cheer up my sisters) let me say
Cheer up my my my momma too, lord
Cheer up my father

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Let me say, we've been down in captivity (captivity)
So long, so long
We unite we will be free (we will be free)
So strong, so strong

[Chorus]
Cheer up my my my my my my brother
(cheer up my sister) cheer up my sisters
(cheer up my momma) my momma too lord
(cheer up my) my father
And I, I, I
