Tim Feehan: Stand [lyrics]

Tim Feehan

Stand

When you gonna stand up straight

Waiting for your back to break

Always gonna bear the weight

It's time to make a stand

Innocent, just the same you know you're gonna

take the blame

Nothing's ever gonna change until you make a stand

Stand, stand, stand

In the heat of the moment on the dark side of town

A fist goes up and a fist comes down

Take it out on your brother if it feels alright

Take another shot of courage if it gets you

through the night

Stand with me

We all need somebody to lean on

No one gets their kicks from a schoolmaster's stick

Got to pick yourself up from the ground

You got the power to stand!

Stand!

You should be standing up

Stand!

When you're backed in a corner 

Stand!

Get the view from the top, yeah...

You're so much bigger standing up

Born in a city of broken dreams

Where so many people never been off their knees

Stand with me...yeah...

So put your arms around me

Hand in hand we are better together, when we stand

Stand with me

We all need somebody to lean on

You're just a stone to step on if you never get up

Got to pick yourself up from the ground

And stand!
