Stand

Don’t look through the door—
no one’s coming through.
Cancel out the noise.
Keep your eyes right in front of you.
Do not be afraid—
everything has its time.
You’ll grow up and grow stronger and wiser—
You will fall in line.

Don’t look at the walls—
You’ll see the fading smile.
You’ll hear stories and whispers, remember—
it’s only for a while.
Try to stay calm—
HE will take your hand.
And after falling and crawling, oh Darling,—
you will finally stand.

You will stand.
You will stand.
When you can’t go much farther and things— they'll get harder,
you’ll stand.
Oh, you’ll stand.

Do not close your eyes—
you have to face the truth.
Cancel out the noise.
Keep your eyes right in front of you.
Ease your worried mind—
it’s just a part of fate.
You will learn more and do more and know—
Just try to keep your Faith.

Don’t listen to the cries—
They’ll only bring you down.
Maybe time can try to heal those, and soon,
they’ll finally come around.
Take a deep breath—
HE will take your hand.
And after falling and crawling, oh Darling,—
you will finally stand.

You will stand.
You will stand.
When you can’t go much farther and things— they’ll get harder,
you’ll stand.
Oh, you’ll stand.

In the midst of the battle,
in spite of the rain,
through the chaos and trouble,
through the mind-numbing pain,
In the distance, there’s hope
and you’ll lose all restraint.
You will stand.

You will stand.
You will stand.
When you can’t go much farther and things— they’ll get harder,
you’ll stand.
Oh, you’ll stand.
You will stand.
When you can’t go much farther and things— they’ll get harder,
you’ll stand.

Darling, just stand.
