When i stand when i stand i stand up for me 
And all my desires stand tall as a tree 
We sit in the shade we swim in the sea 
But when i stand when i stand i stand up for me 

And when you stand when you stand you stand up for you 
Try denyin it i can see thru 
U may lack all things im lackin too 
But when u stand when u stand u stand up for u 

When he stands when he stands he stands up for him 
It's not for u that hes out on a limb 
When the spotlight shines when the moonlight is dim 
Understand when he stands he stands up for him 

And when she stands when she stands she stands up for her 
And u stand wide-eyed cast aside as it were 
Tell me to you did it ever occur 
When she stands when she stands she stands up for her 

When they stand when they stand they stand up for them 
So pick up yr weapon and put down yr pen 
U cant compete youve been caught n condemned 
When they stand when they stand they stand up for them 

Cause when we stand we all stand alone 
So dont ask for favors theyll throw u no bone 
Nobodys waiting to welcome u home 
When we stand when we stand we stand all alone 

When i stand when i stand i stand up for me 
And all my desire stands tall as a tree 
Swim in the shade sit in the sea 
When i stand when i stand i stand up for me​
