Jericho McLean - Stand Up Lyrics

Stand up, stand up for how you feel
Stand up, for what you think is real
Stand up, for what, for whom, for why
Stand up, hold fast and testify

Your mind is yours, not programmed as a drone
Opinions formed entirely on your own
You are who you are now because you've lived
A life on your own terms, not from a script
The values that you hold, your favourite songs
Are yours to choose, let no one say you're wrong

So stand up, stand up for how you feel
Stand up, for what you think is real
Stand up, for what, for whom, for why
Stand up, hold fast and testify

Don't let others call the shots. Don't be compliant thought robots
Don't let others call you names, just because they don't feel the same

Diversity is reason to create
For art, for music, just for freedom's sake
For politics, religion, sport or war
For peace, cooperation, sharing more
If we all liked or wanted all the same
Why bother to make anything new again?

So stand up, stand up for how you feel
Stand up, for what you think is real
Stand up, for what, for whom, for why
Stand up, hold fast and testify

Don't let others call you names, just because they don't feel the same
Don't let others call the shots. Don't be compliant thought robots

Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Get up now. Stand up
Hold your head high. Stand up
Take the chains off. Stand up
Be true to yourself. Stand up
Stand up, and testify
Stand up. It's justified
