Stand for Something Songtext
von Utopia

When you cry
I know you got a good reason to cry
If you can′t come
I know it's not just an alibi
Now I hear
Things that are better kept under the hat
Who backs it up?
Look at your hand, you can count on that

When you talk, it′s hard to disagree
And when you dance, you're talking to me

When you stand, you stand for something
(Stand for something they can't dim your flame)
When you stand, you stand for something
(Stand for something they can′t bend your stream)

Here I stand
Outside the world of politica
I would not lose that
For all the gold in South Africa


What you wear did not come easy
What you hear sounds different to me

When you stand, you stand for something
(Stand for something they can′t dim your flame)
When you stand, you stand for something
(Stand for something they can't bend your stream)
When you stand, you stand for something
(Stand for something they can′t dim your flame)
When you stand, you stand for something
When you stand, you're standing next to me

(You put your foot down every day)
Make sure you bring it down on the upbeat
(So walk away those feet of clay)
We are fighting and dancing in the street

When you talk, it′s hard to disagree
And when you dance, you're talking to me

When you stand, you stand for something
(Stand for something they can′t dim your flame)
When you stand, you stand for something
(Stand for something they can't bend your stream)


When you stand, you stand for something
(Stand for something they can't dim your flame)
When you stand, you stand for something
(Stand for something they can′t bend your stream)

Come on and stand
(Stand for something they can′t dim your flame)
When you stand, you stand for something
