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
