Stand Up - Candi Staton

Stand up and be counted

Stand up for what you believe

You gotta

Stand up and be counted

Stand up for what you believe

If you don’t stand for something

You will fall for anything

If you don’t hold your values high

If you keep on doing what you’re doing

You’ll keep getting what you’re getting

Looking for a different outcome, that’s insane

Stand up and be counted

Stand up for what you believe

You gotta

Stand up and be counted

Stand up for what you believe

Get your mind on the future

And stop looking back

Whatever is done is in the past

Your future is bright

But you’ve got to push and fight

Just to get, just to get you through

Hey!

Stand up and be counted

Stand up for what you believe

You gotta

Stand up and be counted

Stand up for what you believe

Lift your head up high

And look towards the sky

Knowing it’s gonna be all right

Don’t you ever give up

Stand strong and tough

Keep hanging tight — that’s enough!

You gotta

Stand up and be counted

Stand up for what you believe

Oh yeah!

Stand up and be counted

Stand up for what you believe

You gotta

Stand up and be counted

If you know you right

If you know you right

You gotta stand for

Stand for integrity

Stand for peace

Stand for love
