When I Stand Songtext
von Owen James

Hm
Mm
Mm

I don′t talk just to fill the air
I don't move just to prove I care
I don′t scare when the sky turns black
I don't leave when it pushes back

I've seen men strong men lose their ground
Heard brave words fall apart out loud
I don′t shake when the walls give in
I get quiet, and I dig in

When it gets heavy, when it gets loud
When everybody′s running out
I don't run, mm, I don′t bend

When I stand, I don't fall
When I hold, I hold it all
When it′s dark, when it breaks
You can lean, I won't shake
When I stand, you′re safe (mm)


I've held hands in the worst of nights
Kept my word when it cost my pride
I don't fold when the truth cuts deep
I don′t promise what I can′t keep

I've been low, I′ve been tested hard
Lost a few, left a few scars
But I don't drown in what I face
I let it hit, then I brace

When it gets lonely, when it gets thin
When the fight′s outside and within
I don't run, I don′t bend

When I stand, I don't fall
When I hold, I hold it all
When it's dark, when it breaks
You can lean, I won′t shake
When I stand, you′re safe (yeah)

Oh-oh (oh)
Whoa-oh

You don't need a lot of men
You need one who understands
It don′t scare me
It makes me who I am


When I stand, I don't fall
When I hold, I hold it all
When it′s dark, when it breaks
You can lean, I won't shake
When I stand
Oh, you′re safe (oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)

You're safe (oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
