Stand Up Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like it can go through anything
And even when you think it can't it finds a way to still push on, though
Sometimes you want to run away
Ain't got the patience for the pain
And if you don't believe it look into
Your heart the beat goes on
I'm tellin' you that
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don't let up
Don't you know you can go be your own miracle
You need to know
If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don't give up
Who are we to be
Questioning, wondering what is what
Don't give up
Through it all, just stand up!
It's like we all have better days
Problems getting all up in your face
Just because you go through it
Don't mean it got to take control, no
You ain't gotta find no hiding place
Because the heart can beat the hate
Don't wanna let your mind keep playin' you
And sayin' you can't go on
I'm tellin' you that
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall
Dust if off, don't let up
Don't you know you
Can go
Be your own
Miracle
You need to know
If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don't give up
You don't gotta be a prisoner in your mind
If you fall, dust it off
You can live your life
Yeah
Let your heart be your guide
Yeah yeah yeah
And you will know that you're good if you trust in the good
Everything will be alright, yeah
Light up the dark, if you follow your heart
And it will get better
Through whatever
If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don't give up
You got it in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
Find it within you, find it within
Through it all, just stand up
