Stand Songtext
von Silvercrush

Sometimes I scare myself
I don′t know where to turn
I don't know if I should teach
Or if I should learn

They both mean the world to me
Though a leader I am not
With all eyes watching me
They cast their nets, I′m caught

Well I'm caught on my strings
And still I'm fighting

You′ve got to stand on your own
Fight for what′s right
You've got to skip the middle man
Keep your focus inside
Got to stand on a hill
Scream you′re alive
Cause you won't die
You′re alive tonight


I feel like I'm a puppet
To my own rules
Don′t color outside of the lines
That is for fools

Sometimes the straight and narrow
Seems just like a winding road
With all the twisting, turning, changing
With no code

And still I'm fighting
And yet I'm losing

You′ve got to stand on your own
Fight for what′s right
You've got to skip the middle man
Keep your focus inside
Got to stand on the hill
Scream you′re alive
Cause you won't die


You′ve got to stand on your own
Fight for what's right
Well, embrace your good intentions
Hesitations aside
Stand on a hill
Scream you′re alive
Cause you won't die
You're alive tonight

Alive enough to feel scared
You′re alive tonight
Alive enough to feel dead
You′re alive tonight
Alive enough to feel love
You're alive tonight
To accomplish what we dream of?

I wonder to myself
Is this the happiest I can be?
Of course it is you chose this route
It can′t choose me

And now I'm smiling
While I′m bowing

You've got to stand on your own
Fight for what′s right
You've got to skip the middle man
Keep your focus inside
Got to stand on the hill
Scream you're alive
Cause you won′t die

You′ve got to stand on your own
Fight for what's right
Embrace your good intentions
Hesitations aside
Stand on the hill
Scream you′re alive
Cause you won't die
You′re alive tonight
