Stand

[Verse 1]

See it's a couple ways that we can go about this

We can carry on or we can flip a new switch

We can't just put a damper on the fire

And never take the chance to let it rise up

Maybe 'cause we know it won't survive us

Afraid to let it burn

[Pre-Chorus]

We got one foot on "I love you"

The other one's on "it's over"

It's easier to just to lay down

But we may never break ground

[Chorus]

If we don't stand

For the future

For the new us

We'll be ruined

If we don't stand

For the future

For the new us

We'll be ruined

[Verse 2]

Tired of old traditions, I think it's time we made a change

Let's stay true to our religion, love's the only way

So don't you let them dim the light inside you

And never take the chance to let it rise up

Baby 'cause they know you're a survivor

But will they ever learn?

[Pre-Chorus]

We got one foot on "I love you"

The other one's on "it's over"

It's easier to just to lay down

But we may never break ground

[Chorus]

If we don't stand

For the future

For the new us

We will fail

If we don't stand

For the future

For the new us

We will fail

[Bridge]

Once we stand up we'll be one

Fighting together towards the strong

Knowing the battle's here at home

We can't afford to get it wrong

[Chorus: Variation]

So won't you stand

(Stand)

For the future

(For the future)

For the new us

(Stand)

For the children

(Stand)
