Songtexte Stand Up - Jimmy Barnes

Spent your life on the fence
And wonder where your time went
From the time you were born
You always did what you're told
You're gone, there's nothing you leave behind

Always easy to please
Never get off-a your knees
Give and you will receive
Just like a kick in the teeth
How long, you just turn the other cheek

Tell me what you've got to lose
There's just so much you can do

But you got to (stand up)
One shot can make a nation cry (stand up)
One voice can make them wonder why (stand up)
One spark can make a fire burn (stand up)
One lesson everybody must learn, so stand up, yeah

You got to search for the truth
It's just so easy to lose
When there's so many lies
That find a way to get through
Lord God the future is in your hands

You put your head in your hands
There's just so much you can stand

But you got to (stand up)
One shot can make a nation cry (stand up)
One voice can make them wonder why (stand up)
One spark can make a fire burn (stand up)
One lesson everybody must learn, stand up

Who's gonna answer your prayers
When you are no longer there
If you're looking for signs
You must be crazy or blind
I know the future is in your hands

Tell me what you got to lose
There's so much more you can do

But you got to (stand up)
One shot can make a nation cry (stand up)
One voice can make them wonder why (stand up)
One spark can make a fire burn (stand up)
One lesson everybody must learn (stand up)

One voice can make a nation cry (stand up)
One voice can make them wonder why (stand up)
One spark can make a fire burn (stand up)
And one lesson everybody must learn (so stand up)
Stand up, stand up (stand up) got to stand up
Stand up (stand up, stand up)
You got to stand up (one voice could make...)
I had a dream (stand up...)
One shot can make a nation cry (stand up)
One voice could make you...
