This is where my father tripped

This is the part my teacher skipped

Talked about humanity and how it all relates to me

A million battles to be won

But me I'm just my mother's son

Tried to fight and be a man

When all I had to do was stand

God brings the answers where we least expect

Sometimes the best approach is to simply be direct

Stand though the world is laughing

Stand up on crooked feet

Stand up and be counted

Stand though you might get beat

If you're too tired to retreat just stand

It's really such a simple thing

Just pour a cup of faith and drink

Relax the tension in your head

Trust in every word god said

So jack be nimble jack be quick

Jack stood on that candlestick

It's hope that makes you turn around

And place your feet on solid ground

God brings the answer where we least expect

Sometimes the best approach is to simply be direct

Stand though the world is laughing

Stand up on crooked feet

Stand up and be counted

Stand though you might get beat

Stand though the world is laughing

Stand up on crooked feet

Stand up and be counted

Stand though you might get beat

If you're too tired to retreat just stand

Stand yeah just stand stand yeah

Stand
