It's so easy to be affected
By the bad news all around
It's so hard to get adjusted
All those changes bring me down

But just the other day, my baby
Taught me real straight ahead
You won't get by unless you face it
Face it standing up

So I stood there, I was feeling
My emotions running wild
But you held my hand and told me
I'll be always by your side

No matter what we face together
We can make it through
Nothing can stand in front of truth, baby
So come on and take a stand, yeah

Stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up and take a stand with me
Stand up, stand up, stand up, yeah
Stand up and take a stand

Don't be afraid, you're not alone, babe
Take a good look around
Every one shares your fears and sorrows
So come on and take a stand, yeah
Stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up and take a stand with me
Stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up and take a stand, oh

Get yourself together
Take the time to plan ahead
'Cause tomorrow's looking at you
So you better get it straight

No matter what we face together
We can make it through
Nothing can stand in front of truth, baby
So come on and take a stand, woah

Stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up and take a stand with me
Stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up and take a stand, woah

Stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up and take a stand with me
Stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up and take a stand, oh
