(VERSE 1) I'm standing at the edge of space and time Deciding if my being alive is a crime And if I jump and sail out into the abyss How much will I really miss? I'm inching closer, closer to my fate Lacking a backup plan or escape And I'm just about to finally go and move ahead When a voice calls out to me Here's what it said: (CHORUS) STAND Every woman and man This is a call for all to rise up and stand STAND Every woman and man Raise up your voice and say that I can STAND Every woman and man This is a call for all to rise up and All rise up and say… I CAN ! (VERSE 2) Get back up on your feet You’re much to strong to quit on me Now dry your eyes and brace your back Prepare for warfare Here comes the attack You’re nearly there so don’t you stop Making your very own way to the top And when you see your victory Together we will be We’re now free (BRIDGE) STAND Every woman and man This is a call for all to rise up and stand STAND Every woman and man Raise up your voice and say that I can STAND Every woman and man This is a call for all to rise up and All rise up and say… I CAN ! STAND X1 STAND X2 STAND X3 STAND X4 STAND X5 STAND X6 Everybody now… (STAND X7) I CAN (ROARING) STAND Every woman and man This is a call for all to rise up and stand STAND Every woman and man Raise up your voice and say that I can STAND Every woman and man This is a call for all to rise up and All rise up and say I CAN STAND Every woman and man This is a call for all to rise up and stand STAND Every woman and man Raise up your voice and say that I can STAND Every woman and man This is a call for all to rise up and All rise up and say… I CAN !!!
