Stand For You - Jonny Diaz

So long politics, it’s time to start being me

Take the chains off my lips, it’s time to set my tongue free

Some might just turn their heads but some will raise a fist

And You told me to stand so I won’t back down from this

They say there are no absolutes but are they absolutely sure?

In a world that tries to water You down

Where beliefs cannot be spoken too loud

I’ll stand for truth

Where they claim Your way isn’t wide enough

And they do their best just to cover You up

I’ll stand for You

Hello reality, it’s time we embrace honesty

Teach me to speak with truth and love and with humility

You made a promise that You’re coming back to earth

So how selfish am I if I don’t go tell the world?

They say just be sincere but could they all just be sincerely wrong?

In a world that tries to water You down

Where beliefs cannot be spoken too loud

I’ll stand for truth

Where they claim Your way isn’t wide enough

And they do their best just to cover You up

I’ll stand for You

They might remove Your name from money

But You own it all the same

They kicked You out of school, that’s funny

'Cause how could You go away?

In a land that’s built upon Your word

It’s amazing You’ve been banned

To think that we control You is absurd

So for truth I’m here to stand

In a world that tries to water You down

Where beliefs cannot be spoken too loud

I’ll stand for truth

Where they claim Your way isn’t wide enough

And they do their best just to cover You up

I’ll stand for You

I’ll stand for You
