Sly & The Family Stone - Stand! Lyrics

Stand
In the end you'll still be you
One that's 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 (ooh)

Stand
For the things you know are right
It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight
Stand
All the things you want are real
You have you to complete and there is no deal

Stand, stand, stand
Stand, stand, ooh
Ooh

Stand
You've been sitting much too long
There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong
Stand
There's a midget standing tall
And a giant beside him about to fall

Stand, stand, ooh
Stand, stand, ooh
Ooh

Stand
They will try to make you crawl
And they know what you're saying makes sense and all
Stand
Don't you know that you are free?
Well, at least in your mind if you want to be

Everybody
Stand, stand

Stand
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Stand
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Stand
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Stand
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Stand
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
