Stand Up for Something - Andra Day, Common

You can have all the money in your hands

All the possessions anyone can ever have

But it’s all worthless treasure, true worth is only measured

Not by what you got, but what you got in your heart

You can have, you can have everything

But what does it, what does it mean?

It all means nothing

If you don’t stand up for something

You can’t just talk the talk

You got to walk that walk, yes you do

It all means nothing

If you don’t stand up for something

And I stand up for you

And I stand up for you, yes I will, yes I will

You do the best that, do the best that you can do

Then you can look in the mirror

Proud of who’s looking back at you

Define the life you’re living

Not by what you take or what you’re givin'

And if you bet on love there’s no way you’ll ever lose

Take a stand, make a stand for what’s right

It’s always worth, always worth the fight

It all means nothing

If you don’t stand up for something

You can’t just talk the talk

You got to walk that walk, yes you do

It all means nothing

If you don’t stand up for something

And I stand up for you

Self respect, dignity

If that’s all you got, then you got all you need

And without that, you don’t have a thing, oh, no, no

Rise up, love, lift your hands

I stand with you 'cause I understand

Ain’t here to judge, just to take a stand

The greater plan’s the Creator’s plan

Let’s all rise like the day began

Reach out and touch with the Savior’s hand

On rock, we stand like this native land

Let the ways of love be the ways of man

And it all means nothing

If you don’t stand for something

You can’t just talk the talk

You got to walk that walk, yes you do

It all means nothing

If you don’t stand up for something

And I stand up for you (stand up, stand for you)

I stand up for you (stand up)

And I stand up for you (stand up, stand for you)

Stand up for you, yes I will, yes I will (stand up)
