Stand lyrics

I'll stand even when life has got me down
And my hopes and dreams are no where to be found
Still I stand cause I know
I'm too close to give up now
I put it all in your hands and just stand
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Stand, even when nights seem cold, and
Stand, when you can't feel your soul, and
Stand, when your dark past won't seem to go away, help me say, you can
Stand, God is right by your side, and
He will make everything all right so, if you can (lift your hands) let's plan and just stand

If I cry, it's all right, cause it may be just what I need
Cause everybody hurts sometimes, and every heart needs relief
Still I know where to go, to the one who understands
So no matter what tomorrow may bring, still I stand

Stand, even when nights seem cold, and
Stand, when you can't feel your soul, and
Stand, when your dark past won't seem to go away, help me say, you can
Stand, God is right by your side, and
He will make everything all right so, if you can (lift your hands) let's plan and just stand

Everybody help me say...
Even if you fall still know that you can just stand, you can just stand...
If you can, lift your hands, let's plan, if you just stand

If you
Stand, even when nights seem cold, and
Stand, when you can't feel your soul, and
Stand, when your dark past won't seem to go away, help me say, you can
Stand, God is right by your side, and
He will make everything all right so, if you can (lift your hands) let's plan and just stand

If you stand...
Help me...
Lord, I know...

If you can, let's plan, stand
