Stand
by Eli

Album: Second Hand Clothing

This is where my father tripped
This is the part my teacher skipped
Talked about humanity
And how it all relates to me
A million battles to be won
But me, I'm just my mother's son
I tried to fight and be a man
But all I had to do was stand

God brings the answers
Where we least expect
And sometimes the best approach
Is to simply be direct

And stand though the world is laughing
Stand up on crooked feet
Stand up and be counted
Stand though you might get beat
If you're too tired to retreat
Just stand

It's really such a simple thing
Just pour a cup of faith and drink
Relax the tension in your head
Trust in every word God said
So Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack stood on that candlestick
And it's hope that makes you turn around
And place your feet on solid ground

God brings the answers
Where we least expect
And sometimes the best approach
Is to simply be direct

And stand though the world is laughing
Stand up on crooked feet
Stand up and be counted
Stand though you might get beat, now

Stand though the world is laughing
Stand up on crooked feet
Stand up and be counted
Stand whether or not you get beat
If you're too tired to retreat
Just stand

Stand, yeah
Just stand, mm-hmm
Stand, yeah
Stand, stand...
