Stand Up for Something

[Verse 1: Andra Day]

You can have all the money in your hands

All the possessions anyone can ever have

But it's all worthless treasure, true worth is only measured

Not by what you got, but what you got in your heart

You can have, you can have everything

But what does it, what does it mean?

[Chorus: Andra Day]

It all means nothing

If you don't stand up for something

You can't just talk the talk, you got to walk that walk

Yes, you do

It all means nothing

If you don't stand up for something

And I stand up for you

[Post-Chorus]

And I stand up for you, yes I will, yes I will

[Verse 2: Andra Day]

You do the best that, do the best that you can do

Then you can look in the mirror proud of who's looking back at you

Define the life you're living, not by what you take, but what you're givin'

And if you bet on love, there's no way you'll ever lose

Take a stand, make a stand for what's right

It's always worth, always worth the fight

[Chorus: Andra Day]

It all means nothing

If you don't stand up for something

You can't just talk the talk

You got to walk that walk, yes, you do

It all means nothing

If you don't stand up for something

And I stand up for you

[Bridge]

Self-respect, dignity

If that's all you got

Then you got all you need

And without that, you don't have a thing

Oh, no, no

[Verse 3: Common]

Rise up, love, lift your hands

I stand with you 'cause I understand

Ain't here to judge, just to take a stand

The greater plan's the Creator's plan

Let's all rise like the day began

Reach out and touch with the Savior's hand

On rock, we stand like this native land

Let the ways of love be the ways of man

[Chorus: Andra Day]

And it all means nothing, oh

If you don't stand for something

You can't just talk the talk (Yeah)

You got to walk that walk (Yeah), yes, you do

It all means nothing

If you don't stand up for something

And I stand up for you (Stand up, stand for you)

[Outro]

I stand up for you (Stand up), oh

And I stand up for you (Stand up, stand for you, stand up)

Stand up for you, yes I will, yes I will
