Lyrics:
We Stood Up
V1
You said our story didn't matter
We listened to one another
Our voices rose above the chatter
We heard the call of our earth
and pitchin'
Yeah I'm sorry but this is how I'm livin
And this is how I'm getting, fuck how I get it
Hey!
[Chorus: Juelz Santana]
I stood alone watching
I have watered them, I have danced on them
I have stood on my knees and I have begged on them
They have carried me like waves, they carried me like
Summer time trips to the lake
Rambler station wagon
No seatbelts with a tailgate to a place secluded by pines
Time stood still, swimming at the lake
gonna be okay
I pushed through the winds
I stood in the rain
I weathered the storm
Now nothing but blue skies around me
And I, I'm better inside
believe in all the things that you stood by before?
(That you stood by before)
Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you
I stood up for the first time when I was just eleven months old
And ever since that day mama said I never done what I was told
I never stood for
to know
We had hours to kill, this is the day, the day the world stood still
These are our words sung forever
Can we sing this together?
If we both fall,
We are not frightened anymore,
We stood up, we stood up
and there are two of us there will be more,
They'll show up, yeah they'll show up
They'll
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet
Time was a precious thing
The day the world stood still
For one day in my life
You brought me happiness
You stopped the lonely world
With all your
In another land where the breeze and the
Trees and flowers were blue
I stood and held your hand.
And the grass grew high and the feathers
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet
I came down through Albany to New York
To find what I'd been missin'
I looked across the river to the city
Where the windows all stood glistenin'
I
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet
the warning signs
'Til it was too late
I'm a casualty
A victim of my own circumstance
A casualty a hopeless case
I never stood a chance at all
I never
Time was a precious thing
The day the world stood still
For one day in my life
You brought me happiness
You stopped the lonely world
With all your
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet
preachers, four for the four that stood at the door, three for the Hebrew children,
Two for Paul and Silas, one for the little bitty Baby was born, born, born
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet
