"Stand" lyrics

Dionne Warwick & Sasha Baker Lyrics

"Stand"
(feat. Skylar Griswold)
(originally by Andra Day)


You won't be remembered by what you had
But instead by how you made someone feel
No one should be treated lesser because of their color, religion or their gender
We are one and we are connected
So let's stand together and stand for something

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 that talk
You got to walk that walk, yes you do
It all means nothing
If you don't stand up for something
And I'll stand up for you
And I'll stand up for you, yes I will, yes I will

You do the best you, 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 that talk
You got to walk that walk, yes you do
It all means nothing
If you don't stand up for something
And I'll stand up for you, you, you
I'll stand up for you

Stand up
Doing nothing is no longer an option
Stand up for something
Stand up, stand
Stand up
Stand up for something
