You'll never lose me to temptation
Fighting the devil and I beat the dragon too
I'm at your rescue; I'm your faithful one,
If it's the last thing that I ever mean to do
I'm in deeper than you could know
The wise in me won't let it go
You can count on me, guarantee

I stand up, I stand up,
Believe in myself
(If you love somebody, stand)
I stand up, I stand up,
Give me a little respect
(If you need somebody, stand)

Out of the shadow, yet I'm alright
It's not as easy as I know it used to be
I don't have time to look behind me
I know the truth and it's the truth that set me free
One more heart to heart to live for;
One more time to stop the war,
Inside of me; in spite of me

I stand up, I stand up,
Believe in myself
(If you love somebody, stand)
I stand up, I stand up,
Give me a little respect
(If you need somebody, stand)

[Chorus repeats]
