Stand Lyrics

There's a fire that burns in a young man's heart

There's a raging storm in his soul

He's tired of hearing the unborn cry

But what can he do alone?

He can raise the voice of injustice

He can join in the victor's band



Stand, stand up and be counted

Stand, stand up and be counted

Stand, stand up and be counted

Stand, stand up and be counted



He's not loud, he doesn't want to stand out

He works real hard to fit in

He can feel the pain of the breaking hearts

Torn in two by the sin

On the one hand he wants to be wanted

But that's not what his conscience demands



Stand, stand up and be counted

Stand, stand up and be counted

Stand, stand up and be counted

Stand, stand up and be counted



And the blood of the prophets screams out

From injustice of days gone by

They died in the streets to set prisoners free

Prisoners like you and like me



Stand, stand up and be counted

Stand, stand up and be counted

Stand, stand up and be counted

Stand, stand up and be counted



Stand, stand up and be counted

(C'mon, stand!)

Stand, stand up and be counted

(Stand)

Stand, stand up and be counted

(You've got to stand)

Stand, stand up and be counted

(C'mon and stand, hey!)
