Stand Up lyrics

If these walls came crumblin' down
Fell so hard, to make us lose our faith
From what's left you'd figure it out
We still make lemonade taste like a sunny day

Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby

Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
Just one last time, I could see you smile

I would dig a hole all the way to China
Unless of course I was there
Then I'd dig my way home
If by digging I could steal
The wind from the sails of the greedy men
Who rule the world

Still you're my best friend
And after a good, good drunk
You and me
Wake up and make love
After a deep sleep
Where I was dreaming
I was dreaming of
My dreamgirl
Dream girl

I was feeling like a creep

Everybody wake up
If you're living with your eyes closed
See the man with the bomb in his hand
Everbody wake up

Oh baby it's not easy sometimes
We build these walls ever higher and hide behind them
Seems an odd way to try and make things right
Oh I feel like I'm crazy sometimes

And our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
And believers stand behind him and smile

Sinnin' I've done my share of this, still I hope the Lord forgive me my sins
Ten years ago down by the lake, I saw my sweet love - her watery grave
I closed my eyes still see her face, I'd give my soul take back that day

Hello again
Its been too long,
Too long,
Too long,
Hello again
You know you got what it is I want

Anyway I'm gonna take it from you

Oh great light, of love
Oh great light, of love
Oh great light, of love
Oh great light, of love

Here you go the dirty girl
Good, God, try to love to try to ahh
God, love is a lively sight
Do you know who needs you?

I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind

It's.....
So good of you
To love you

You and I

No, no, Mama, now Devil done do-si-do
Two young boys lyin dead by the side of the road
And the coins in their eyes represent the money they owe
No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told

Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the caine
Tryin to play with the caine
Same old story again
(Loisiana bayou) Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the caine
Tryin to play with the caine

bring that beat back to me again,
come on take me back, can't catch me can't catch me
bring that beat back to me again
come on take me back, can't catch me can't catch me

I ride my bike down the old dirt hill,
first time without my training wheels.
first time I kissed you I lost my legs,
bring that beat back to me again.
screaming shouting louder innocence

on the window ledge I don't feel safe,
but I stay looking down you

it's out of my hands for now
it's out of my hands for now
I can't just walk away
it'd be nice to walk away
but I don't feel safe
get away, all the way up here

it's out of my hands for now
it's out of my hands for now
oh it is down from here
down from here

start to feel insane, betrayed
out on my window ledge

Last night, no way I was going to be left hungry
And then your daddy caught me sneakin' out your bed
It's just a game I play
It's just the roll I play
Don't think sweet baby im messing with your head

I'm a smooth rider baby
You know I just keep movin' on
Don't know why I like to carry on the way I do
It's just that I'm in love with you

Ah...If you see me out there runnin'

Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up

Woke up to the angels a-singin' in my head
You look so good naked next to me
There's an angel in my bed

Stand up...

I feel like a drug is cookin' in my veins
I'm so out of my mind
I shoot you up again

Stand up...
Save my soul
Stand up...

Swear life's smoke and fire is burning in my soul

I walk halfway around the world
Just to sit down by your side
And I would do most anything girl
To be the apple of your eye
Troubles they may come and go
But good times
They're the gold
And if the road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go

Anyplace you wanna go you go
You know i'll be next to you
If it's treasure baby you're looking for
I'll search the whole world through

Hello Again,
Seems like forever between now and then,
You look the same,
I mean you look different but you haven't changed,
Funny to think how the time gets away,
Funny how you take me right back again;

Stolen away,
First time I saw you, you did me that way,
What should I say,
I saw you laughing and I was afraid;

Never get in the way,
I did not think I'd see you again,

To change the world,
It starts with one step
However small,
First step is hardest of all
Once you get to your gate
You will walk in tall
You said you never did,
Cause you might die trying

Cause you might die trying
Cause you

If you close your eyes
Cause the house is on fire
And think you couldnt move
Until the fire dies
The things you never did
Cause you might die trying
