"Stand" lyrics

Fine line between caged and free
Same blood between you and me
Everybody gotta rise up
Everybody gotta stand up

Shout from the steeple
Power to the people
Ain't nobody free
Til everyone of us is equal
Everybody gotta rise up
Everybody gotta stand up

Feed us lies
But we'll find truth
They'll cut us down
But can't take our roots
I believe that we'll get through
Just stand by me
And I'll stand by you

This is where we come from
This is what we do
Yeah we got that same blood
So just stand by me and I'll stand by you

Looking back at those six broke kids
Who'd a thought we'd have a stage like this
But here we are because we rise up
Yeah we're here because we stood up

And we shout from the steeple
Power to the people
Ain't nobody free
Til everyone of us is equal
Everybody gotta rise up
Everybody gotta stand up

Feed us lies
But we'll find truth
They'll cut us down
But can't take our roots
I believe that we'll get through
Just stand by me
And I'll stand by you

This is where we come from
This is what we do
Yeah we got that same blood
So just stand by me and I'll stand by you

This is where we come from
Oh, this is what we do
Yeah we got that same blood
So just stand by me and I'll stand by you

There's a war outside these walls
But there's love inside us all

Yeah there's a war outside these walls
But there's love inside us all

'Cause this is where we come from
And this is what we do
Yeah we got that same blood
So just stand by me and I'll stand by you

This is where we come from
Oh, this is what we do
Yeah we got that same blood
So just stand by me and I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
