Lyrics[]
- Stand!
- In the end you'll still be you
- One that's done all the things you set out to do.
- Stand!
- There's a cross for you to bear
- Things to go through if you're going anywhere.
- (Everybody say):
- Stand!
- For the things you know are right.
- It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight.
- Stand!
- All the things you want are real.
- You have you to complete and there is no deal.
- Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
- Oom bah bah bah Oom bah bah bah
- Stand! Stand!
- Huh! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
- Stand!
- Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya .
- Stand!
- They will try to make you crawl.
- And they know what they're saying makes no sense at all.
- Stand! Don't you know that you are free?
- Well, at least in your mind if you want to be.
- (Everybody say):
- Huh! Hah!
- Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya.
- Huh! Hah!
- Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya. (etc. to fade)
