Stand Up

EDWARD CRAIG, CLARE EVERS, JAMES SULLIVAN

Ohh, whoa-whoa, whoa
Ohh, oh-whoa, whoa

I used to hide from the light, I would cower
Too ashamed to be me, so afraid of my power
'Til one day momma said, I got somethin' to offer (offer the world)
Just look in the mirror to see it
Now it's up to you to believe it

You got a purpose (purpose)
What is your reason? What is you fightin' for?
I see you searchin' (searchin')
Burnin' inside, it's somethin' you can't ignore
Yeah, everyone's hurtin'
But you gotta fight, get up and keep moving forward
See, don't back away with your hand up
'Cause somebody need you stand up

See I've been tryin' my best, every time, I wait (to)
To find my meaning in everything (meaning in everything)
And don't waste the season 'cause time don't wait
You countin' on me (countin' on me)
And I'm countin' on you (countin' on you)

Yeah, so now when I show up (show up)
I know I'm goin' up for everybody to see
And I stand for the babies, the fellas, the ladies
And everybody in need
For the lost and forgotten we (do it)
Even though it ain't easy we (do it)
Yeah, so now when we show up, we know that we holdin' up
Somethin' that's bigger than you and me

You got a purpose (purpose)
What is your reason? What is you fightin' for? (What is you fightin' for?)
I see you searchin' (I see you searchin')
It's burnin' inside, it's somethin' you can't ignore
Yeah, everyone's hurtin'
But you gotta fight, get up and keep moving forward (don't back a-)
See, don't back away with your hand up (with your hand up)
('Cause somebody) 'cause somebody need you stand up
(Ooh, yeah)

See I've been tryin' my best, every time, I wait
To find my meaning in everything
And don't waste the season 'cause time don't wait
You countin' on me (countin' on me)
And I'm countin' on you (countin' on you)

Everybody here have somethin' to do
Yeah, light your fire, it makes you move
It's somethin' so special that gets so smooth
You countin' on me (countin' on me)
And I'm countin' on you (countin' on you)

Take up your space
Baby, shake up the place
You can break all the rules
Someone's countin' on you
Do believe in yourself (believe in yourself)
'Cause ain't nobody else (nobody else)
Who can do what you do
Someone's countin' on you (someone is countin' on you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
