When I stand, when I stand, I stand up for me
And all my desires stand tall as a tree
We sit in the shade, we swim in the sea
But when I stand, when I stand, I stand up for me

And when you stand, when you stand, you stand up for you
Try denyin' it, I can see through
You may lack all things I'm lackin' too
But when you stand when you stand you stand up for you

When he stands, when he stands, he stands up for him
It's not for you that he's out on a limb
When the spotlight shines, when the moonlight is dim
Understand when he stands, he stands up for him

And when she stands, when she stands, she stands up for her
And you stand wide-eyed cast aside as it were
Tell me to you did it ever occur
When she stands, when she stands, she stands up for her?

Na na na na na na

When they stand, when they stand, they stand up for them
So pick up your weapon and put down your pen
You can't compete, you've been caught and condemned
When they stand, when they stand, they stand up for them

Cause when we stand, we all stand alone
So don't ask for favors, they'll throw you no bone
Nobody's waiting to welcome you home
When we stand, when we stand, we stand all alone

When I stand, when I stand, I stand up for me
And all my desire stands tall as a tree
Swim in the shade, sit in the sea
When i stand, when I stand, I stand up for me​
