Stand tall, when the change comes around Every change that comes don't have to water your love down This evil disregard for anything we find Gonna leave you a void, trying to make up a man's mind So stand tall, yeah, and keep a little honor In time to get someplace that you know you deserve Gotta keep your head receiving when you miss the call Stand tall, stand tall, stand tall Stand tall, down in the deep fry There's heavy competition and you're the other guy Stand tall, disappearing the rebellion at the last Following the downbringers, not thinking about the cost Stand tall, yeah, it's easier to breathe Stand tall and never take it or walk by underneath Your clean face shatters, though your choice is small Stand tall, stand tall, stand tall We can all be leaders, we can all be led We hold so few words that we'd better left unsaid Let's be weak on the streets and leave the sleeping for our beds Give it, live it, stand up And stand tall, this is life and not a dream You cut back on your expectations, you bring in the crop without the cream Stand tall, but you find yourself bent over looking back Mouthy, begging, but the parade's already passed Stand tall, yeah, it's easier to breathe Stand tall and never take it or walk by underneath Your clean face shatters, though your choice is small Stand tall, stand tall, stand tall Stand tall, stand tall, stand tall *
