about

The Stand is a song about wanting more and rising up to fight for it, at the risk of leaving love behind.

lyrics

I want to be much more than I am
I have to take a stand
it's time for you to let go of my hand
I have to take a stand

I stood by you through thick and thin
I trusted you like a best friend
I loved you more than maybe you will every understand
but I'm hopin that you can
cus I need to fly now as high as I can
I have to take a stand


my heart's on fire, I must cool the flame
it's time to stake a claim
I'm liable to burn down this whole house and my name
unless I stake a claim
we break our promises daily
and we make excuses, well we'll see
if we wait every moment like water dripping down the drain
wasted all away
so let's burn these mistakes and put them out in the rain
it's time to stake a claim


the day so long
but I can't see the light
I must take back the night
these hopes so old but still by my side
I must take back the night
how long have I dreamt to be free
and strong enough to believe
I was wrong to have given up so long before the fight
now I long to make things right
so I lay me down or take to the sky
I must take back the night
I must take back the night
I must take back the night
I must take back the night
