[Verse 1]
We all carry the cross and speak what we're taught
Lies and money become the white man's God
We've burned all our bridges one too many times
The time has come now to draw the line

[Chorus]
You know you've got to stand, stand
A-stand for what you believe
You know you've got to stand, stand
A-stand for what you believe
Ohh, you've got to
Stand for what you believe

[Post-Chorus]
Alright, alright
Ohh, you gotta listen now

[Verse 2]
Express yourself in the face of change
Repress yourself, you surely seal your fate (Seal your fate)
You got to look inside, the answer lies in wait
Resurrect before it's too late (Too late)

[Chorus]
You know you've got to stand, stand
A-stand for what you believe
You know you've got to stand, stand
Stand for what you believe
Ohh, stand
Stand for what you believe
[Bridge]
Somebody rescue me, come down and rescue me
I know the soul of this good man has got to be free
When you stand, stand for what you believe

[Chorus]
You know you've got to stand, stand (Don'tcha know?)
I stand for what you believe, ohh
You know you've got to stand, stand (And I stand, and I stand)
I stand for what you believe
You know you've got to stand, stand (Everybody come on, everybody come on)
Stand for what you believe
So hell, now just stand, stand (Everybody come on, everybody come on)
Stand for what you believe

[Outro]
(Everybody come on, everybody come on)
(Everybody come on, everybody come on)
And I stand
(Everybody come on, everybody come on)
I feel now baby
(Everybody come on, everybody come on)
Gonna see the man, gonna see the man
Stand for what you believe
