Stand Up

(album: Devils & Angels - 2007)

I got in a fight over some stupid insecurities.
Stepped out of the light.
When did we lose our old identity?

Now my white flags are waving around
'Cause you don't need your best friends bringing you down.
Something in the air with the smoke and the fire
Got in my eyes, our eyes singing,

Stand up, stand up
Can I be strong enough?
I'm trying hard to be myself again
To be myself again.

I've been tripping over all the rules
Living my live somebody else's way.
I've been sinking on this ship of fools,
Following orders that I can't obey.

Now my white flags are waving around
'Cause the choices I've made ran me into the ground.
Someone's at the crash site digging me out.
I hope it's you, I hear you singing to me

Stand up, stand up
Can I be strong enough?
I'm trying hard to be myself again
Stand up, stand up
Brothers be strong enough.
We're trying hard to be ourselves again
To be ourselves again.

When plans go wrong they won't set the sun.
When plans go wrong they won't ruin the day.

Stand up, stand up
I gotta be strong enough.
I'm trying hard to be myself again.
So stand up, stand up.
Brothers be strong enough.
We're trying hard to be ourselves again again.

Stand up, stand up (Stand up, stand up) [x3]
Stand up, stand up, stand up!
Stand up, stand up (Stand up, stand up) [x3]
Stand up, stand up
