I Stand Up by Chicago

You'll never lose me to temptation.
Fighting the devil and i beat the dragon too.
I'm at your rescue; i'm your faithful one,
If it's the last thing that i ever mean to do.
I'm in deeper than you could know.
The wise in me won't let it go.
You can count on me, guarantee.

I stand up, i stand up,
Believe in myself.
(if you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, i stand up,
Give me a little respect.
(if you need somebody, stand.)

Out of the shadow, yet i'm alright.
It's not as easy as i know it used to be.
I don't have time to look behind me.
I know the truth and it's the truth that set me free.
One more heart to heart to live for;
One more time to stop the war,
Inside of me; in spite of me.

I stand up, i stand up,
Believe in myself
(if you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, i stand up,
Give me a little respect.
(if you need somebody, stand.)
