Stand lyrics

Yeah, Arrested Development
It's better to write for ourselves and have no public
Than to write for the public and have no self, yeah, yeah

I stand for children, innocence in they eyes, playing under blue skies
Trying out fake cries to see they mama sympathize
Wanting they new toys, thinking it a bring 'em joy
Thinking mom and dad are wack but later on they realize

Children playing in the dirt, getting wet in the rain
Falling till they learn that part of life is pain
Crawling till they learn that walking is another thing
And running should come only when walking is no type of strain

I stand for beauty, earth, sky, woman, man
Or other worldly things like birth, strife and death again
And things that we can't touch like love faith and sacrifice
Things that we like much like good food and moon light

Cloud formations, clear blue skies, four season leaves
And the colors that stop by great songs, great art, great books
And stories unrecognized, underdogs that later gain glory

The things that I stand for tell who I am
The things that I stand for tell who I am
The things that I stand for tell who I am
The things that I stand for tell who I am

I stand for truth, political or spiritual
And I know the truth can hurt but I'd rather hear it though
Whether truth about the past, present, future or all
I know the man that hates truth is the man who will fall
I know that every single issue boils down to sin

And the only way to kill sin is from within
And the man who points his finger at everyone else
Has got 4 other fingers pointed back to himself

And that people don't change 'cause of words alone
Yet a nation can be moved by one person whose strong
And truth can be buried for moments of time
But like the last day buried things are bound to rise
Are bound to rise, are bound to rise

The things that I stand for tell who I am
The things that I stand for tell who I am
The things that I stand for tell who I am
The things that I stand for tell who I am

As I stand, so I rise
Lift my tears up to the sky

I stand for something or everything I fall for
Even when I'm wrong, yo, you know my views
We choose most of our paths and that's just the truth
Even if most of our ways lead to further blues

And sometimes I stand for nothing I just sit and listen
'Cause no matter how much I got there's things I'm missing
So when it's all done and said I stand for this
When it's all done and said I stand for this
When it's all done and said I stand for this

Children, beauty, truth and something that stirs my insides
Inspires my very life 'cause bottom line for everyone is
You stand or sit, you stand or sit
You stand or sit, you stand or sit

As I stand, so I rise
Lift my tears up to the sky

The things that I stand for tell who I am
The things that I stand for tell who I am
The things that I stand for tell who I am
The things that I stand for tell who I am
