Stand

歌詞

Yeah, Arrested Development It's better to write for ourselves and have no public Than to write for the public and have no self, yeah, yeah I stand for children, innocence in they eyes, playing under blue skies Trying out fake cries to see they mama sympathize Wanting they new toys, thinking it a bring 'em joy Thinking mom and dad are wack but later on they realize Children playing in the dirt, getting wet in the rain Falling till they learn that part of life is pain Crawling till they learn that walking is another thing And running should come only when walking is no type of strain I stand for beauty, earth, sky, woman, man Or other worldly things like birth, strife and death again And things that we can't touch like love faith and sacrifice Things that we like much like good food and moon light Cloud formations, clear blue skies, four season leaves And the colors that stop by great songs, great art, great books And stories unrecognized, underdogs that later gain glory The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am I stand for truth, political or spiritual And I know the truth can hurt but I'd rather hear it though Whether truth about the past, present, future or all I know the man that hates truth is the man who will fall I know that every single issue boils down to sin And the only way to kill sin is from within And the man who points his finger at everyone else Has got 4 other fingers pointed back to himself And that people don't change 'cause of words alone Yet a nation can be moved by one person whose strong And truth can be buried for moments of time But like the last day buried things are bound to rise Are bound to rise, are bound to rise The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am As I stand, so I rise Lift my tears up to the sky I stand for something or everything I fall for Even when I'm wrong, yo, you know my views We choose most of our paths and that's just the truth Even if most of our ways lead to further blues And sometimes I stand for nothing I just sit and listen 'Cause no matter how much I got there's things I'm missing So when it's all done and said I stand for this When it's all done and said I stand for this When it's all done and said I stand for this Children, beauty, truth and something that stirs my insides Inspires my very life 'cause bottom line for everyone is You stand or sit, you stand or sit You stand or sit, you stand or sit As I stand, so I rise Lift my tears up to the sky The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am
