Stand Up

STAND UP

THERE'S A WORLD RIGHT HERE BETWEEN HOPE AND FEAR JUST A DISTANT SOUND IN A BABY'S EAR

THERE'S A PLACE FOR HOPE AND WAY TO PRAY

JUST A SIMPLE PRAYER FOR A BRAND NEW DAY

SO, WHY DON'T YA JOIN ME AS I TAKE A LOOK AROUND?

I KNOW THAT LOVE IS LURKIN' SOMEWHERE IS THIS SMALL TOWN I GOT THIS FEELIN ACHIN DEEP IN MY SOUL

MY HEAD IS REELIN – CAUSE I WANT YOU TO KNOW – YOU GOTTA -

(STAND UP, STAND UP – LIFT YOUR OWN HEAD UP AND BE STRONG (ACT LIKE YOU BELONG – IT'S NOT WRONG JUST TO 'STAND UP')

YA GOTTA GET YOURSELF ANOTHER REASON TO LIVE

YA GOTTA SEE TO KNOW TO READ THE SEASON TO GIVE NOW, COME ON BABY – YOU CAN DO MORE THAN DANCE. SO, STEP OUTSIDE YOUR BOX – LET'S GRAB AT THE CHANCE

(CHORUS) SO COME ON......

STAND UP, STAND UP – HOLD YOUR OWN HEAD UP

THERE'S NO NEED TO SHUT UP

THE TIME HAS COME PEOPLE JOIN IN EVERYONE

BE STRONG AND BELONG TO THE FINE RHYTHM OF THIS SONG THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S ALRIGHT – TONIGHT EVERYTHING'S GONNE BE ALRIGHT – IF YOU JUST -

STAND UP, STAND UP – LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD, IT'S ABSURD LET NO EXCUSES, OR ABUSES STAND IN YOUR WAY TODAY

I TELL YOU – IT'S WORTH IT IF YOU BIRTH IT STARTS WITH WHAT YOU SAY – OKAY?

I THINK THAT WE GOT IT SO TAKE A MOMENT TO 'JOT IT' DOWN - IT GOES LIKE....STAND UP – STAND UP.

YA KINDA SORTA LOOK A LOT LIKE ME
