Erivo was joined by a group of singers in gold and silver outfits. Toward the end of the performance, they crowded behind Erivo as she harmonized. Singers and dancers came onto the stage from the audience. The performance ended with a black-and-white picture of Harriet Tubman projected onto the stage as the lights went out, illuminated only by standing lanterns. Erivo received a standing ovation from the audience.
"So I'm gonna stand up/Take my people with me/Together we are going/To a brand new home," Erivo, who plays slave liberator and abolitionist Harriet Tubman in the film, sings in the ballad. "Far across the river/Can you hear freedom calling?/Calling me to answer/Gonna keep on keepin' on."
The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the opening line "I been walkin' / With my face turned to the sun". This metaphorical image shows someone who faces their challenges with courage and strength, even in the face of danger. The "weight on my shoulders / A bullet in my gun" represents the responsibility and power that comes with standing up against oppression.
The chorus, "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", speaks about the desire to not only fight for oneself but to also uplift and support those who suffer the same injustices. The repetition of "stand up" and "keep on keepin' on" emphasizes the need for perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity.
Overall, "Stand Up (From Harriet)" is a song that celebrates the resilience and strength of those who have faced oppression throughout history. The song emphasizes the importance of perseverance and standing together in the fight for freedom and equality.
Ms. Erivo co-wrote the powerful song with Joshuah Brian Campbell ("Sing Out/March On") and delivers a stirring theme that embodies the spirit of the iconic freedom fighter. As she recently explained to Billboard, The song, for me, is a thank you to Harriet - an expression of hope, strength and inspiration to do good for one another." Cynthia digs into her lower register throughout a dramatic intro punctuated by bass drum and handclaps. As she moves into the chorus, backed by a piano and gospel choir, her voice begins to soar as she declares, "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 keeping on / I can feel it in my bones."
