Stand up my brother
Stand up my sister
Stand up my brother
Stand up my sister
Don't you let your young life get you down
It always had a certain mystery
Many changes come to everyone
About the time that they turn seventeen
Grandma said, at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said, hold onto your faith
'Cause in this world you've got to go and get yours
So you stand up be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
There's no need to feel you're on your own
Just let your intuition guide you through
Take one step toward what you believe
Don't be afraid to make your move
In my head those words remind me
What Grandma said, at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said, hold on to your faith, don't be scared go out there
Just stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
Stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
Don't be scared go out there, just stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
Stand up my brother, stand up my sister
Stand up my brother, stand up my sister
So you stand up and be strong
Go out there and hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter
Stand up my brother, stand up my sister
Stand up my brother, stand up my sister
To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own
To feel you're on your own
