Stand Up
Stan Walker · The Complete Collection [2013]
So many voices, only one that decides
I hang my head as I change my mind
If I let you down, I apologise
There's one right choice, but to go wrong, there's a million ways
It gets so hard, I wish I could, but I can't run away
They tell me I shouldn't love you, they stand in the way
But I can hear the voices, and they all say
[Chorus]
Should I stand up for love
Or should I break your heart
I never knew I held the answers in my hands, yeah
We said we'd we never let it break us down
Though I wanna run, I can't quit now
Anything I do won't be enough
Unless I stand up for love
So I stand up and I stand tall
They can criticise, but they're not me at all
Consequence, take it on the chin
Love won't wait and we won't be giving in
One right choice that I make is another man's mistake
It gets so hard, I've thought about it, but I won't run away
They can tell me I shouldn't love you and try to stand in the way
But I can hear the voices, and they all say
[Chorus]
Should I stand up for love
Or should I break your heart
I never knew I held the answers in my hands, yeah
We said we'd we never let it break us down
Though I wanna run, I can't quit now
Anything I do won't be enough
Unless I stand up for love
Everything you are
Everything I've seen so far
Can't get enough
(So in love, I am)
Yes, I'm gonna fight
For our very own space in time
Until you're mine
(A solider for love, I am)
[Chorus]
Should I stand up for love
Or should I break your heart
I never knew I held the answers in my hands, yeah
We said we'd we never let it break us down
Though I wanna run, I can't quit now
Anything I do won't be enough
Unless I stand up for love
