Soundtracks - Stand by Trey Songz lyrics

[Verse 1] See it's a couple ways that we can go about this We can carry on or we can flip a new switch We can't just put a damper on the fire And never take the chance to let it rise up Maybe 'cause we know it won't survive us Afraid to let it burn [Pre-Chorus] We got one foot on "I love you" The other one's on "it's over" It's easier to just to lay down But we may never break ground [Chorus] If we don't stand For the future For the new us We'll be ruined If we don't stand For the future For the new us We'll be ruined [Verse 2] Tired of old traditions, I think it's time we made a change Let's stay true to our religion, love's the only way So don't you let them dim the light inside you And never take the chance to let it rise up Baby 'cause they know you're a survivor But will they ever learn? [Pre-Chorus] We got one foot on "I love you" The other one's on "it's over" It's easier to just to lay down But we may never break ground [Chorus] If we don't stand For the future For the new us We'll be ruined If we don't stand For the future For the new us We'll be ruined [Bridge] If we don't stand For the future For the new us We'll be ruined Once we stand up we'll be one Fighting together towards the strong Knowing the battle's here at home We can't afford to get it wrong [Chorus: Variation] So won't you stand (Stand) For the future (For the future) For the new us (Stand) For the children (Stand)
