I stood up for the first time 
When I was just eleven months old
And ever since that day my mama said
I never done what I was told
I never stood for nothing too much
All through my schooling years
But I stood as much as I could stand
I guess that's why I'm still standing here.
I stood up
When love called my name
I stood up
Even when the fight was all in vain
I got stood up by hope
And left out in the pouring rain.
I stood up
And I'd do it again
