Lyrics:
(humming)

Stand!
In the end you'll still be you
When they done all the things you set out to do
Stand!
There's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere
Everybody say „Stand!“
For the things you know are right
It's the truth and the truth makes so uptight
Stand!
All the things you want are real
If you do to complete 'em, there's no deal
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(humming)

Stand!
Stand!

*
Ooooh!
Yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah
Stand!
Yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah

Stand!
They will try to make you crawl
And they know what you're sayin'
Makes no sense at all
Stand!
Don't you know that you are free
Well, at least in your mind if you want to be
Everybody say

(* Repeat with ad lib and fade)
