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
