No greater power, no greater gift to lose
The message unspoken
The silence of the truth
Alone we hide in the shadows
Together we bring on the light

One voice is not strong enough
One heart just won't do
In this world I won't count for much
Unless I stand for you, standing
Unless I stand for you, standing

We are the beginning
Of a sound that might be heard
To the many who lie waiting
Our words break the cold wield of silence
And they guide us through the night

One voice is not strong enough
One heart just won't do
In this world I won't count for much
Unless I stand for you

One choice is all we got
One fact remains true
In this world I don't count for much
Unless I stand for you
Not another minute
Not another hour
We're gonna rise on up
Every man, woman and child

I believe that the time has come
I believe that the time has come
I believe that the time has come

Oh, I stand for you
I'm standing for you
Oh I, we're standing
We're gonna stir it up, yeah

Alone we hide in the shadows
But together we bring on the light

One voice is not strong enough
One heart just won't do
In this world I won't count for much
Unless I stand for you, ooh, unless I stand for you

Yeah, standing
I'm standing for my brother
I'm standing
No, no
I'm standing, I'm standing
Yeah, standing for my sister
I'm standing, I stand for you

Yeah yeah, I'm standing for you
For you
God, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'm standing, I'm standing
