Stand Up
Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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
Stand for 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)

Lute Por Alguma Coisa

Você pode ter todo o dinheiro em suas mãos
Todos os bens que alguém pode ter
Mas é todo um tesouro inútil, o verdadeiro valor apenas é medido
Não pelo que você possui, mas pelo que você tem no seu coração
Você pode ter, você pode ter tudo
O que é isso, o que isso significa?

Isso tudo não significa nada
Se você não lutar por algo
Você não pode simplesmente falar por falar
Você tem que andar nessa caminhada, sim, você tem
Tudo isso não significa nada
Se você não lutar por alguma coisa
E eu luto por você

E eu defendo você, sim, sim, sim, eu vou
Você faz o melhor que pode, faça o melhor que você pode fazer
Então você pode olhar no espelho
Orgulhoso de quem está olhando para você
Defina a vida que você está vivendo
Não pelo que você tem ou pelo que dá
E se você apostar no amor, nunca saíra perdendo
Tome uma posição, escolha o que é certo
Vale sempre a pena, sempre vale a luta

Isso tudo não significa nada
Se você não lutar por algo
Você não pode simplesmente falar por falar
Você tem que andar nessa caminhada, sim, você tem
Tudo isso não significa nada
Se você não lutar por alguma coisa
E eu luto por você

Lute pelo respeito, dignidade
Se isso é tudo que tem, então é tudo que você precisa
E sem isso, você não tem nada, oh, não, não
Levante-se, ame, levante suas mãos
Eu estou com você porque eu entendo
Não está aqui para julgar, apenas para fazer uma escolha
O plano maior é o do Criador
Vamos todo levantar como quando o dia começa
Estenda a mão e toque com a mão do Salvador
Na rocha, nós ficamos como esta terra Natal
Deixe que os caminhos do amor sejam os caminhos do homem

E tudo isso não significa nada
Se você não lutar por algo
Você não pode simplesmente falar por falar
Você tem que andar nessa caminhada, sim, você tem
Tudo não significa nada
Se você não lutar por alguma coisa
E eu luto por você (levante-se, represente você)
Eu luto por você (levante-se)
E eu luto por você (levante-se, represente você)
Levante-se por você, sim, sim, sim, eu vou (levante-se)
