Why should I be ashamed to talk about the One that I know is real
Or about how sick I think it is when babies are killed
Or the fact there's people starving without love or a home
When we can feed a whole village with what we throw to our dumps
I believe that He has died and He is risen again
I believe that He will burn this world down in the end
I don't care what you think about me or what I say
I mean every word why should I be ashamed?
[Chorus:]
I stand
When everything is falling around me
I stand
In spite of all the pain that surrounds
I stand
I stand here with my fist raised high
When everything falls, When everything falls
I stand
We're back from the dead
We play for love
We play for those who come out
We don't play for the money or the girls or the clout
The fans, the lights, the guitars and the mics
It's the two-way, I'm in route, I'm driving straight through the night
But when the music fades and is stripped away,
We stand alone at the end of this day
I hope you remember every word that I say,
That Your way alone is the only way
[Chorus:]
I stand
When everything is falling around me
I stand
In spite of all the pain that surrounds
I stand
I stand here with my fist raised high
When everything falls, When everything falls
I stand
In the middle of blood and sorrow
I will stand here and fight
Gonna live like there's no tomorrow
This world is gonna know
When everything falls…
[Chorus:]
I stand
When everything is falling around me
I stand
In spite of all the pain that surrounds
I stand
I stand here with my fist raised high
When everything falls, When everything falls
I stand
Step up and get knocked down!
'Cause I stand!
I stand!
