lyrics

when i stand when i stand i stand up for me
and all my desires stand tall as a tree
we sit in the shade we swim in the sea
but when i stand when i stand i stand up for me

and when you stand when you stand you stand up for you
try denyin it i can see thru
u may lack all things im lackin too
but when u stand when u stand u stand up for u

when he stands when he stands he stands up for him
it's not for u that hes out on a limb
when the spotlight shines when the moonlight is dim
understand when he stands he stands up for him

and when she stands when she stands she stands up for her
and u stand wide-eyed cast aside as it were
tell me to you did it ever occur
when she stands when she stands she stands up for her

when they stand when they stand they stand up for them
so pick up yr weapon and put down yr pen
u cant compete youve been caught n condemned
when they stand when they stand they stand up for them

cause when we stand we all stand alone
so dont ask for favors theyll throw u no bone
nobodys waiting to welcome u home
when we stand when we stand we stand all alone

when i stand when i stand i stand up for me
and all my desire stands tall as a tree
swim in the shade sit in the sea
when i stand when i stand i stand up for me

Emotions and Math
by Margaret Glaspy

supported by 4 fans who also own “I Stand Up For Me”

I know this is itself a cliche but it feels insincere to attempt to use words to express the emotions this album elicited. I tried to use math to calculate how much joy and love I feel but again I came up short... anyway exquisite Sanders Ilenstine
