I Stand for You

No greater power
No greater gift to lose
Than the message unspoken
The silence of the truth
Alone we hide in the shadows
But together we bring on the light

One voice is not strong enough
One heart just won't do
In this world I don't count for much
Unless I stand for you
(Standing)
Unless I stand for you
(Standing)

Oh, we are the beginning
Of a sound that might be heard
To the many who lie waiting
Our words break through
The cold grip of silence
And they guide us through the night

One voice is not strong enough
One heart just won't do
In this world I don't count for much
Unless I stand for you

One choice is all we got
One fact remains true
In this world I don't count for much
Unless I stand for you

Not another minute
Not another hour
We're gonna rise on up
Every man, woman and child

(I believe that the time has come)
We got to stand together
(I believe that the time has come)
(I believe that the time has come)
(I believe that the time has come)
Oh, I stand for you
(Standing)
I'm standing for you
(Standing)
(Standing)
We're gonna stir it up
(Standing)

Alone we hide in the shadows
But together we bring on the light

One voice is not strong enough
One heart just won't do
In this world I don't count for much
Unless I stand for you, hmmm
Unless I stand for you
(I'm standing)
(I'm standing)
I'm standing for my brother
I stand for you
(I'm standing)
I stand for you
(I'm standing)
I'm standing for you
(I'm standing)
I'm standing for my sister
(I'm standing)
I stand for you
