Playing on my TV Screen
Will I sit back and watch it fade
There's gotta be a better way
Love is more than what you feel
Love is action, love is real
Break your silence, turn the key
So get ready, come on everybody
Are you ready to
Stand for what you believe in
Stand for all that is right
Stand, its stuck all around you
You can be that shining light
Stand when troubles come calling
You're gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light, stand
I feel the air shake, raise my voice
I have my soul, I have a choice
I feel it burning, I want more
So what am I waiting for?
So get ready, come on everybody
Are you ready to
Stand for what you believe in
Stand for all that is right
Stand, its stuck all around you
You can be that shining light
Stand when troubles come calling
You're gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light, stand
Oh, stand
Stand for what you believe in
Stand for all that is right
Stand, its stuck all around you
You can be that shining light
Stand when troubles come calling
You're gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light, stand
Stand for what you believe in
Stand for all that is right
Stand, its stuck all around you
You can be that shining light
Stand when troubles come calling
You're gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light, stand

the problem with people now a days is that they don't have the guts to STAND up for what they believe or whats right. It was bully awareness week last week and this song makes me think of all those who have been bullied and teased for their beliefs and sometimes there is no one to stand up for them. I think that if there was more people who could STAND up for their beiliefs and What is right then maybe this world could be a better place
