Lyrics Candi Staton – Stand Up

Stand up and be counted
Stand up for what you believe
You gotta
Stand up and be counted

If you don’t stand for something
You will fall for anything
If you don’t hold your values high
If you keep on doing what you’re doing
You’ll keep getting what you’re getting
Looking for a different outcome, that’s insane

Stand up and be counted
Stand up for what you believe
You gotta
Stand up and be counted
Stand up for what you believe

Get your mind on the future
And stop looking back
Whatever is done is in the past
Your future is bright
But you’ve got to push and fight
Just to get, just to get you through
Hey!

Stand up and be counted
Stand up for what you believe
You gotta
Stand up and be counted
Stand up for what you believe

Lift your head up high
And look towards the sky

You gotta
Stand up and be counted
Stand up for what you believe
Oh yeah!
Stand up and be counted
Stand up for what you believe

You gotta
Stand up and be counted
If you know you right
If you know you right
You gotta stand for
?
Stand for integrity
Stand for peace
Stand for love
