Stand for Something

When you cry I know you've got a good reason to cry If you can't come I know it's not just an alibi Now I hear things that are better kept under the hat Who backs it up? Look at your hand, you can count on that When you talk, it's hard to disagree And when you dance, you're talking to me When you stand, you stand for something Stand for something They can't dim your flame When you stand, you stand for something Stand for something They can't bend your stream Here I stand Outside the world of politica I would not lose that For all the gold in south africa What you wear did not come easy What you hear sounds different to me When you stand, you're standing next to me You put your foot down every day Make sure you bring it down on the up beat So walk away those feet of clay We are fighting and dancing in the street
