Degarmo & Key Stand
There's a fire that burns in a young man's heart
There's a raging storm in his soul
He's tired of hearing the unborn cry
But what can he do alone?
He can raise the voice of injustice
He can join in the victor's band
Stand, stand up and be counted
Stand, stand up and be counted
Stand, stand up and be counted
Stand, stand up and be counted
He's not loud, he doesn't want to stand out
He works real hard to fit in
He can feel the pain of the breaking hearts
Torn in two by the sin
On the one hand he wants to be wanted
But that's not what his conscience demands
Stand, stand up and be counted
Stand, stand up and be counted
Stand, stand up and be counted
Stand, stand up and be counted
And the blood of the prophets screams out
From injustice of days gone by
They died in the streets to set prisoners free
Prisoners like you and like me
Stand, stand up and be counted
Stand, stand up and be counted
Stand, stand up and be counted
Stand, stand up and be counted
Stand, stand up and be counted
(C'mon, stand!)
Stand, stand up and be counted
(Stand)
Stand, stand up and be counted
(You've got to stand)
Stand, stand up and be counted
(C'mon and stand, hey!)
