[Verse 1]
A bag of years, a cup of tears, lie in a gla**
And every line on my face has a tale to tell
For I have worn this skin I live in
And so I will until I'm dying
I've had it good, had it bad, until it's over
[Chorus 1]
Stand if you wanna know yourself
Stand if your head's with someone else
Stand if you feel like making up
Stand when you think you've had enough
[Verse 2]
A set of words, a busy mind lie in a bed
And every day there is a way I've yet to walk
So many times I've took for granted
When love is all I've ever wanted
To come alive, see the sights, stay up late
And then it's over
[Chorus 2]
Stand if you love the one you're with
Stand when you've nothing else to give
Stand cause it's all you'll ever know
Stand cause there's nowhere left to go
Stand if you have something to say
Stand if you need a place to stay
Stand if you wanna be alone
Stand any way you want to
[Bridge]
All that I am
Is all I'll be, when you...
[Chorus 3]
Stand as a woman or a man
Stand anywhere you know you can
Stand if you want without a sound
Stand when you're tired of sitting down
