Stand For Something

I was looking for direction, but no compass to be found
A world with no mercy – I was living underground
I had no way of knowing what you was telling me was wrong
‘til I heard what was the real deal
when I heard B.B. sing ‘The Thrill Is Gone’

Now I’m on the right track and I ain’t gonna turn around
I won’t let nothing bring me back to that dark and dirty town
I know there’s a place in this world where I can stand
For the first time in my life I feel I have a real chance

If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything
If you don’t love everybody, how could you ever love yourself?

Now I’m a little older now but I feel I’m getting better
My soul is flying high now
It’s like a feather

If you don’t stand for something,
you’ll fall for anything
If you don’t love everybody,
how could you ever love yourself?

Love yourself
You gotta learn to love
Love yourself
You gotta love yourself
You gotta love yourself
You gotta love yourself
