The first album I bought was Mad Men Across the Water. The song that was nominated was not one of his best work (not even close). The Song Stand Up, in my opinion, was the best of all of the nominations and the performance was amazing as well.

I've read the tweets and I've seen the apologies. You don't have to accept her apologies, but acknowledge she did apologize and move on. The fact that the "Black community", please leave me out of that so-called community (I'm black), is pushing the hate agenda is awful. When you cannot forgive and move one, you will not be forgiven.

    Lyrics:
    I been walkin'
    With my face turned to the sun
    Weight on my shoulders
    A bullet in my gun
    Oh, I got eyes in the back of my head
    Just in case I have to run
    I do what I can when I can while I can for my people
    While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night
    That's when I'm gonna stand up
    Take my people with me
    Together we are going
    To a brand new home
    Far across the river
    Can you hear freedom calling?
    Calling me to answer
    Gonna keep on keepin' on
    I can feel it in my bones
    Early in the mornin'
    Before the sun begins to shine
    We're gonna start movin'
    Towards that separating line
    I'm wadin' through muddy waters
    You know I got a made up mind
    And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation
    And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die
    So I'm gonna stand up
    Take my people with me
    Together we are going
    To a brand new home
    Far across the river
    Can you hear freedom calling?
    Calling me to answer
    Gonna keep on keepin' on
    And I know what's around the bend
    Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone
    And I just might fail
    But Lord knows I tried
    Sure as stars fill up the sky
    Stand up
    Take my people with me
    Together we are going
    To a brand new home
    Far across the river
    Can you hear freedom calling?
    Calling me to answer
    Gonna keep on keepin' on
    I'm gonna stand up
    Take my people with me
    Together we are going
    To a brand new home
    Far across the river
    Do you hear freedom calling?
    Calling me to answer
    Gonna keep on keepin' on
    I'm gonna stand up
    Take my people with me
    Together we are going
    To a brand new home
    Far across the river
    I hear freedom calling
    Calling me to answer
    Gonna keep on keepin' on
    I can feel it in my bones
    I go to prepare a place for you
