You might be right, you might be wrong
You might just think your life has gone on for too long
Your knees get weak, yes they do, your heart grows cold
And you're tired of doing everything that you're told

It's almost dawn
Stand up and be strong
Find a brand new song, before they're gone
Stand up and be strong

If you live in the hills (if you live in the hills)
Listen, take too many pills (oh too many pills)
'Cause you've lost the thrill against your own will
Stand up and be strong, yes sir

Stand up and be strong
Stand up and be strong
It won't take long, you can't go wrong
Stand up and be strong
It's almost on
Stand up and be strong
Sing a brand new song before they're gone
Stand up and be strong

When the war is too long
And your rights are all wrong
When they lie to your face, put 'em in their place
Stand up and be strong
In the times of unrest (yes)
And you're all depressed (you're all depressed)
If you're life's a mess, remember you're blessed (remember you're blessed)
Stand up and be strong (oh-oh)
C'mon

Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
(C'mon, c'mon)
Stand up

Stand up and be strong
Stand up and be strong (stand up and be strong)
(You got to live to live your life, yeah)
It won't take long, you can't go wrong
Stand up and be strong
(Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up)
It's almost on (it's almost on)
Stand up and be strong (you, you, you, you)
Sing a brand new song, before they're gone
Stand up and be strong
(Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up)
(Oh yeah)

Stand up
stand up
