Stand Up

Слова и музыка: Rob Thomas

Dream yourself awake

Can’t make it through the night

Wicked dreams will haunt you

When the morning light shines

You try to find your way outside

Just another day

Try to let them shine

But people disappoint you

Makes you wonder why you try

You can almost see the end of you

So come on stand up

Yeah put your hands up

It ain't wrong to be strong

Then it's gonna be gone

And then it won't come back to you

No no no no

Now wake up

Try not to break up

If they're holding you down

Then you rise to the top

'Cos you're a bad bad girl

And you just can't stop

Give yourself a break

Listen to your heart

Let your conscience guide you

Never let your guard down

Find out the best of you

Everything you do

And what is done to you

Doesn't have to change you

It only makes you stronger and stronger

The more they take away from you

So come on stand up

Yeah put your hands up

It ain't wrong to be strong

Then it's gonna be gone

And then it won't come back to you

No no no no

Now wake up

Try not to break up

If they're holding you down

Then you rise to the top

'Cos you're a bad bad girl

And you just can't stop

You won't lead no beggar's life

And you sure don't need their bad advice

or their five cents worth of what they think of you

Sometimes they're not so into you

Keep your head up above that line, you know

Everybody loses sometimes

Shame shame shame
